This is a herbal medicine for depression and anxiety.
I have been taking St Johns wort for 1 week and haven't noticed any difference yet. The woman at Holland & Barratt said it can take up to 6 weeks to work. Anyway, she told of a new medicine for depression called 5-HTP and said it's better than SJW but I could take the 2 together if I wanted. I bought the both of them, the st johns was £4.99 but the 5-HTP was a hefty £12.99. The assistant seemed to know her stuff and said it was perfectly ok to take them together and even recommended a vitamin b complex to take.
I am a bit concerned about overdosing though. It says on the St johns to take 1 tablet 3 times a day, and 1-2 tablet of the other one.
Does anyone know if it is ok to take them together or not? Somehow I think the shop assistant was Just after a sale.
