hello everyone,

I took my first dose of St. John's Wort last night. Having come off Cipralex about 6 weeks ago, I have decided to give this a go. It says on the box that there is nothing to worry about such as side-effects, etc but then I looked on the internet (silly me!!) and have found where it says that it can cause high blood pressure, racing heart, rashes, etc so am now a little worried. Does anyone know if this is true or am I worrying about nothing? Could anyone who has been on St. John's Wort please tell me their experiences? Thanks.

Sarah
