Hi South
I have been on SJW for the last 12 months and have sufferes no side effects, I have atken them a few times in the last 10 years and have been ok every time.
They take a few weeks to kick in, but they have ceratinly done the trick for me, apart from the odd day of feeling panicky I am 98% better,
Hope this helps
Take care

hello there,
ive taken st johns wort with no ill side effects at all and where quite easy to come off, to be honest i found them really good, certainly helped with the panic attacks as they eased really quickly, gave me more energy, in fact they were a great little herb and would happily take them again if needed.
hope this helps.

Hi South,
Have heard good and bad about this, firstly my friend takes it and feels great, secondly, as previously said, i think it may interfere with other meds. i.e. blood pressure and the 'pill', i am not at all medically qualified, so please forgive me if i am wrong, check with your doctor or pharmacy? keep in touch. xxxxxxxx

I tried SJW and it didn't agree with me. They gave me a rash and made my tummy feel unwell but they have worked for loads of other people. Even if they don't agree with you, it won't do you any harm. It is worth giving them a go as they will most certainly help and that would be worth it..:D

Hi South
I haven't tried this myself, but it seems just like medication, it helps some people and not others.
You don't have anything to lose by giving it a try.
