J.L.
I take a combination supplement that is mainly St Johns Wort, with vitamin B called Luminex. I had been having a very hard time dealing with the loss of my Mom and the new responsibilities of caring for my Downs Syndrome sister, fining myself crying ALOT and being very angry when I wasn't crying.
I would not be making it without this! It does take about 2 weeks to see the difference, but it does work. No sleepiness either. The particular brand I am taking is only available thru Melalueca, online health/wellness company. but I am sure you can get a good type at a vitamin store. While waiting for the full effect I did take valarien root at night to help me sleep and stop thinking of all that was happening.
It is good stuff, better than and antidepressent I feel.
Not so many side effects to worry about.
Good Luck
J.
