I read about this herb and started taking a St. John's Wort Tincture 3x a day about a year after I gave birth to my son. It immediately lifted my postpartum depression, my mood and my thoughts. I love this herb. I've taken prescription antidepressants before and hated how they made me feel - this herb worked so much better for me. Highly recommend.

I get very depressed in the Winter time. Obviously suffering some from Sadd... I honestly cannot believe that there is a product that is this effective that doesn't require a prescription. Prescribed Anti-depressants that I have taken in the past have been absolute poison. I've upped my daily intake to 600 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening and it seems to work great with no side ... Show Full Comment

Beware side effects. I was on it for about a year and wasn't sure if it was effective. I developed an irregular heartbeat and heart palpitations. Doc said I needed to get off St. John's Wort. I did. My heart rate returned to normal.

My depression symptoms became better after taking webber naturals St. John's Wort (SJW), along with Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. I took SJW 300 mg 3x/day for 17 weeks so far, but the bottle states "Consult a physician for use beyond 18 weeks." Has anybody successfully used SJW in the long run, e.g., more than 18 weeks?

I have tried prescription antidepressants, Lexapro and Wellbutrin. The Lexapro seemed to help a little with my anxiety, but did nothing for the depression. The Wellbutrin just felt like speed, which I am pretty sure that it is an amphetamine. It did not seem to help with my depression at all, aside from giving me a little more energy.

I have tried prescription antidepressants, Lexapro and Wellbutrin. The Lexapro seemed to help a little with my anxiety, but did nothing for the depression. The Wellbutrin just felt like speed, which I am pretty sure that it is an amphetamine. It did not seem to help with my depression at all, aside from giving me a little more energy. I have taken St. John's wort many times in my life, and as long as I remembered to take it on a fairly regular basis, it lifted my spirits and improved my outlook on life tremendously. I am so grateful to know about this herb. I often take ginko biloba with it in addition to a healthy dose of fish oil daily. I always say that it makes me feel like myself again! And that feels good! My problem is that once I really start feeling well again, I begin to start forgetting to take my supplements on a regular basis, because I don't "need" them anymore. And then eventually, I stop taking them altogether and somewhere down the line, I end up depressed and where I started again. I'm sure if I had stayed on a regimen of taking my supplements, everything would have been fine. The only side effect I had was sensitivity to the sun. I got really sunburned when I went on vacation to Hawaii. So definitely be careful in the sun. I am a freckled Irish girl, so I'm already susceptible ( and stupid, obviously). So wear your sunscreen!! But I was very happy to not feel any psychological side effects, like speediness or fatigue or anxiety. None at all. I love St. John's wort. It has really, REALLY helped me in times of need.
