I have been taking St Johns wort for a month now. Yesterday I had some weird feelings...I was feeling quite happy in the morning (even dancing in the kitchen which is very unlike me) but I didn't think anything of it.
However in the evebing I felt so low and felt like crying, I just blamed it on pmt as I'm due on, but within seconds of starting to cry I have the uncontrollable urge to burst out laughing!!! It scared me as I couldn't control the feeling to laugh even tho I had just felt so low and been crying. I then started to panic as the feelings were so weird!!!
Am I going mad or are these side effects of the St Johns wort???
Should I stop taking it or are these affects just it getting to work??

Help!!

Are you on any medication? St John's Wort can interact with some.

It might be worth speaking to a pharmacist to see if they can advice whether this is suitablle for you or not.
