I started taking Stjohns Wort on monday night about ten minutes after i took it i had a horrible prickly itching sensation on my upper body. I didn't make the connection the first night but the same thing has happened last night and now tonight and it's always shortly after taking the SJW. Obviously i won't take anymore but should I see the Dr or just wait and see if this goes away?

I remember reading it can have side effects. This could just be it getting into your system? It works on your brain so any neurological effect may be normal?

Nothing about it on the leaflet, a few wesites say it is a rare but possible reaction, but am avoiding reading too much on line as usually end up on a site that tells you that you are doomed!!
