As stated by a previous reviewer, I take St. John's wort and within a short period of time (a hour at least) I notice a difference in my mood. I take it as needed and have been taking it on and off for about a year. It reduces the edge from the many struggles in the day. I have no side affects to report. I have recommended it to family and friends but as we all know, what works for one person ... Show Full Comment

I have mild occasional depression and I find St. John's Wort provides modest improvement in about an hour. I only take it as needed and have not noticed any side effects.

After I had my daughter, I was horribly depressed, but I was concerned about the side effects of prescription drugs. So, I tried St. John's Wort... and loved it. You still feel your emotions, but it takes the edge off. You aren't SO sad or SO angry. I feel that it makes me more rational about the issues I am having. The only issue I have is that you have to take it so often. I normally ... Show Full Comment

You still feel your emotions, but it takes the edge off. You aren't SO sad or SO angry. I feel that it makes me more rational about the issues I am having. The only issue I have is that you have to take it so often. I normally forget to take the three daily doses required, but I find my one at breakfast and one at dinner is satisfactory for me. Take with food or you'll be burping all day! If you are feeling extremes of emotion, I highly suggest taking St. John's Wort.

I have had a great experience with St Johns wort. I felt a significant improvment in my mood in just 4 days and although I know in my head that my problems are still there I just dont feel so upset by them. I had a slight sensitivity to bright light and a little dry mouth, but have had no other side effects.

I decided to try St. John's Wort rather than go to a doctor for anti-depressants, and I have been happy with the results. I saw a significant difference in my mood after only about 1 week. Side effects for me include slight headaches (which stopped after the first two weeks) and light sensitivity (nothing my sunglasses can't handle). Although I've never tried other medications, I di ... Show Full Comment

Side effects for me include slight headaches (which stopped after the first two weeks) and light sensitivity (nothing my sunglasses can't handle). Although I've never tried other medications, I did not feel the 'numbness' that I've heard others describe when taking certain prescription meds. In short, I feel like a less irritable, more positive and resilient version of my former self.
