St Johns Wort - long term use

[flumox1978]

I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experience using St John's wort to self treat their depression.... on a medium to long term basis.
What sort of side effects did you experience?
Thanks

bumping! xx

I've been taking for years. No noticeable side effects but also no major improvements

I took it only for like a month or so so can't help with long term, but just to note it can affect effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. That is quite a big issue often missed by people.

I only had stronger reaction to sun. Burned VERY quickly.
