St. John's Wort

I started taking SJW about 2 weeks ago, put out by Your Life in the 300 MG concentrate, dietary supplement (2 a day). I have not really noticed any change in my mood swings (which come about before, during, and after my menstrual cycle. I still have hope, because I am really not excited by the prospect of taking chemical drugs to make me all better! Sometimes, I get so cranky I have to take a few deep breaths and say to myself "Who are you lunatic, and what did you do with nice, sweet Jenette!"
I am so tired of feeling like I can't control these shrew-like outbursts (my live-in boyfriend is a saint). I feel like crying sometimes because I know I'm nice, really! So, in the continuing saga to make my life and everyone around me better, I will keep this site updated with my (hopeful) progress with SJW.

I've always read it takes approx. 3 months to know for sure is SJW actually is doing anything good for you. Give it some time. Then, if you don't feel anything different, stop taking it and see if you can tell a difference from WHEN you were taking it.

A clinical therapist told me he finds St. John's Wort effective
at dosages of 900 mg per day. How much are you taking? If the St.
John's Wort does not work, you might ask your doctor about prescription
meds. Both work on different neurotransmitters.

Who sponsored this consumer review? No doubt the manufacturers
of mainstream anti-depressants would like nothing more than to have
a website or two where doubts about the effectiveness of natural
alternatives are aired!

I have been using St. John's for my PMS issues and I must say
that it's been great. I only use it around those times of depression
and hopelessness. I recommend St. John's Wort in the liquid form
(alcohol free). It gets in the blood stream and works within 30
minutes. I did have some headaches, however they were minor. St.
John's Wort has kept me off prescriptions medications. I would highly
recommend this to anyone.
