Does anyone take St. John Wort daily for mood swings? If so, how well does it work for you.

What can I do next?

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

I have a friend who has been using it for years. She says she can't live without it. I found my mood swings were due to my thyroid. I would get my thyroid checked out if I were you. Also different foods can cause mood swings. Look up online about mood swings. It will give you a entire new insight on what to eat and drink to help control them. Also time for Mom can make a big difference. Take a bubble bath, read a book, play a game. Just make sure it is something you enjoy and can do alone. You will be surprised how much this can help.

St John wort worked great for me. I had the baby blues and
refused to take presciption drugs. I still take it three times a day and it takes that edge off. I also take Manesium.
Good Luck.

Valerian Root is better. I take about 1000 mg when I need to.
