In reply to St. John's Wort - Is it worth while?, posted by JimD on December 4, 2003, at 8:18:11
Because of pregnancy, I moved from RX anti-depressants to St. John's Wort. I found it didn't have quite the kick of the RX stuff, but helps keep things manageable for me, and I hope it ultimately will prove to have fewer long term side effects as compared with prescription anti-depressants. I started off on 900 mg/day seven years ago. I'm at a place in my life where I only take it every other day or so now. If things get really stressful for me, I take it every day. I have always used PhytoPharmica, based out of Green Bay, WI, because their quality of ingredients and dosage is supposed to be very consistent. Unfortunately, I think only licensed professionals can order it--I get mine through a chiropractor.
Good luck--
