User Reviews for st. john's wort

I started taking adderall this year without the knowledge that it majorly depletes your body of serotonin. I started experiencing extreme anxiety and depression. It was the scariest time of my life. I started taking 300 mg of St. Johns wort and 100 mg of 5-HTP three times a day and it has literally saved my life. I don't have anymore anxiety and my depression has diminished. I quit adderall 3 months ago and i've been taking SJW and 5-HTP for a month now. I highly recommend this to anyone suffering anxiety or depression.Read More Read Less

I took St. John's Wort for 3 years for mild depression and it worked wonderfully!! Things got real tough a few years ago and I let a doctor talk me into taking a prescription anti-depressant. Anyway, I have been through about 4 prescription antidepressants and NONE have made me feel as good (mentally) as when I was on St.John's Wort! Right now I am trying to "taper" off my current med (Effexor XR) and get back on SJW. The drug companies hate St.John's Wort and tried to fight its FDA approval. That fact alone should tell you how effective this herbal remedy is!! Read More Read Less

I always had to take paxil if i wanted to feel better.. my overall problem is anxiety.. so from this i tend to get obsessive and paniky. From this i felt a mild depression. I started taking sjw three months ago, and it helped lots i felt happyer with energy. Helped me with my therapy. This disorders dont go away with any medication, most of the work it has to be done by us. But sjw helped me so much!! I will never go back to paxil. The only side effect was sensitive to sun, have to protect my self ,sunblock,hats,umbrellas... but its ok. I have leared in the bible that Jehovah God, will take away our tears from this problems. Isaiah 33:24. Revelation 21:3-4Read More Read Less

When I take this I get extremely nauseous for the first 20 minutes or so, then it goes away. Also, my eyes are more sensitive to bright lights throughout the day, but nothing some sunglasses can't help. Overall, I have noticed a significant improvement in my mood stability, and my mood swings are less severe. They haven't gone away completely, but you can definitely notice a difference, even those around me have noticed.

I am taking St john's wort is helping a little but but is given me headaches .o far I am going to continue taking is my last resort.I have ben taking so far two bottles three times a day 300 mg.I am thinking in cut my dosis and take only two times a day.

Been taking SJW for about a month now and it has done wonders for my depression and anxiety brands do make a difference use one thats based of the euro brands and take a min of 900mg a day i take 1800 for the simple fact you fluch out about half of all vitimans you intake daily and let me tell you even my co-workers noticed a difference in me after 2 days of taking SJW I love it and will not ever go back to pills from a doc I was on at least 7 diff drugs all with very bad side effects on SJW i've had none and been looking for one but none have surfaced and from all I have read none ever will, if you;ve been on script drugs and still feel kinda crappy I higly recomend this product give it a full 6 weeks before you say no to it so it can build up in your system and stabilize you mood!Read More Read Less

I have used St. John's wort on and off for mild depression. It seems to work about as well as Prozac did for me. It is cheap and non-prescription, and I am uninsured, so the easy availability is an important factor. Exercise and a healthy diet help too.
