Has anyone had any experience with this? Or know much about it?
I ordered some online when I was going through a rough patch a few weeks ago. I've been taking them for 2 weeks now but the dose is much higher than what they sell in Holland and Barretts. I'm really happy at the moment but thats probably due to things going well right now. I don't know if they're having an effect on me or not because I'm usually a happy person, its just been a stressful 6 months.

But to answer your question .. isn't the answer to stop taking them and see if you're still happy?
I also just want peoples experiences/knowledge too btw Not advice on what I should do.
alight little miss specific ... took them about 3 times, first time felt little spaced out 2nd and 3rd times no effect .. figured I'd become immune to their effect not taken them since ..
They're only for very mild depression. If you are more than that then it might be worth going to the Docs if in a couple of weeks if there hasn't been any improvement.
:yes: my friends a doctor and he says St Johns Wort is a nightmare for reacting badly with other drugs (especially the pill)
If your on any medication i would speak with your GP first, hopefully he will put you straight with things.
Glad your feeling good though Just in time for New York :thumb:
I will look in my herbal remedy book and see what else there is.
EDIT: Have you looked in to taking 5-HTP? or trying Kava, not sure if Kava is banned though.
Maybe I will stop because although I feel great, I was never really depressed. I was a bit irritable though and sometimes moody but as I said things were stressful.
Makoto, let me know if your book says anything.
To your original question, my dad took it and as part of lots of other stuff it helped him.
