Q: Taking St. John's Wort
asked by: alphabetacharlie on April 13th, 2009

I have suffered from chronic depression my entire life and I had to stop taking Lexapro about 2 years ago for my future career choice. I have been taking St. John's Wort the last few months but I was taking the stuff that was hypericin extract. I didn't noticed much difference so I switched to the stuff that has hyperforin extract. I was wondering if I could take both of these supplements together instead of one or the other?

herbs are great but understand it takes time for it to work it's magic. i wouldnt take both at the same time. and it also states that he works for mild depression, so if you are severely depressed it might not work well.
you have to research st.johns worth on the net and the doses that recommended. theres other herbs you can take with it like 5-htp & sam-e. i just read that its better to take hyperforin instead of hypericin. please research these herbs for yourself find about the any clinical trials, and the side effects.
