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.

Worked for a little bit.

Stopped working after about a week.

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.

Helped slightly with my depression

Severe heartburn

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.


Iffy, but leaning towards the good side

St. John's Wort worked to raise my mood for a little while. I'd say I was all around happier for about a month.

After that though, it was right back to the doldrums for me. It seems like St. John's Wort is like nicotine, in that you need more to get the same effect. Or, at least, it is for me. I wouldn't recommend using it due to the potential scary side effects.
