I decided to give St Johns Wort a try. I hear mixed reveiews but maybe it may help. I got it in a juice form. Has anyone tried it with good results?
I am no meds except clonzaplam when I need it(not a daily thing) Maybe three pills a week. I want to take it daily but realize it is quite addicting. It is one pill that really does help me.
Is it ok to mix the two? I know it is not good to mix with anti depressants.
Thanks for any insight!
St John's Wort
I believe in consulting my pharmicist and my doctor before taking supplements. I just added St. John's Wort too (we'll see how that goes). I used to take clonezepam--it is a slipery slope and one I don't want to ever be on again. Be super careful, it seems to creep up on ya and then all of a sudden you need 4 a week, then once a day, then a little more, etc. I'm not sure what detox is really like, but when I weaned myself off of clonezepam it was very hard--I sure am cautious and uneasy about it now. Maybe use lorezepam?? Good luck!
I too have wondered about anyone's experience with St John's Wort...and/or if anyone has benefited from samE?!! I just started samE today...anyone have any experiences with either that you'd like to share?! I feel as though my mood could use a boost, which has been shaken abit by my self-imposed limitations...I recently developed a "thing" about driving...bugs me to no end, because I've always enjoyed driving and I hate how small my world is becoming because of this...so anyway, I'm hoping for a cyclic effect, boost my mood, feel renewed confidence in myself, lift my limitations which should naturally boost my mood...on & on is what I'm hopeful for my story to go! Any feedback regarding either supplement would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
Last Sept. I started taking St. John's Wort and did great on it. I took it till April. (i wanted it for the winter months.) I plan to use it again this fall till Spring again. My only side effect was light sensitivity. Of course I don't worry about being in the sun too much in the winter, but I noticed eye sensitivity when I didn't wear my sunglasses and it was bright out. I actually loved it though-I slept great and felt just as good as when I once took Paxil. And I didn't have to worry about sluggishness and weight gain!

I have had real good feedback from my customers about St. John's Wort, I have worked in a health food store for many years. I would also recommend a new supplement from a company called New Chapter----Holy Basil, not the basil in your cupboard. I will try to post a link for it: <A HREF="http://www.newchapter.com/products/holy-basil" TARGET=_blank>new chapter</A>
It has really helped me with depression once I hit menopause, it helps balance cortisol levels and works to support the adrenal glands----therefore it helps stress. Try it out and it would be safe to take with the St. John's Wort too!
