Question:
Anyone ever taken St. John's wort?
Has anyone ever tried St. John's worts? It is an herbal remedy for depression and I was curious if anyone has ever tried it, how it worked and if they had any side effects?
Answers:
St. John's Wort has been shown to be effective at treating mild depression. It also has a number of side effects, as well as a number of interactions with common prescription medications. These side effects, however, are not nearly as bad as those of most prescription anti-depressants. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it to see their opinion, as well as to see if any of the medications you are on may interact with St. John's Wort.
