Helped the first pill or two but might have been a placebo effect. After that everything was back as it was which wasn't so good.

We tried St. John's Wort in our home with a typical teenager dealing with the blues. We failed to see any improvement even though we encouraged her to stay on it for a full month. Finally gave up and switched her to Holy Basil. World of difference! Holy Basil did what St. John's Wort claims to do.

I took this for mild depression and to increase the amount of energy I had. It seemed to be effective. It helped alleviate my mood a little and as a result gave me a little more energy. I did not notice any side effects. I would not use this for serious problems but it worked well for very mild issues.

I didn't take this because I was depressed. I figured, who doesn't need their mood elevated, right? It worked for a little bit, but then tapered off. Prescription drugs are probably more effective.

I tried this medication for two months. At first, it seemed to help with my depression. I wanted to try an herbal alternative, rather than something prescription from my doctor. I had a hard time taking it. It gave me alot of heartburn and made me sick at my stomach.
It did help a bit with the depression but my stomach could not tolerate it.

I took this product for mild depression. I started feeling better after about a week, but that only lasted a couple of weeks and I was feeling depressed again. I didn't want to increase my dose, since I didn't want to get any serious side effects. I would probably take it again though, as I think it is a better alternative than prescription anti-depressants.
Date Purchased: 04/2008
Price Paid: $15
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Alleviated depression for a couple of weeks. Pills did not have any bad taste.
Cons:
It only worked for a short period of time. I also didn't like staying out of the sun, as that also helps me when I am in a bad mood. |
