I’m certain that in the past some people in this NG have reported hypomania after taking St John’s Wort. So be careful. J Web page at http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/close/xhq10/mem.htm I’ve been Jay H, Canarybird, Empty Cage, Serin, Phoenix, even Crow. Let’s see if I can stick with this one for a while.

Any OTC preparation should be thoroughly discussed with your doctor as there can be potentially harmful interactions with one’s meds. SJW can trigger mania in certain people who have BP Disorder. I use Flaxseed oil and 5 HTP without any ill effects. If you need any info on herbal supplements plaese email me as I do have access to a lot of current and accurated medical information about them.

SJW gave me panic attacks. It was the worst thing I ever tried. I have the same reaction to SSRIs–and AFAIK, SJW is a form of an SSRI. I take a lot of OTC supplements–a whole page of them. Some for bp and others for other problems. I tried each thing –one at a time–and with my pdoc and mdoc and chiro approval. HTH, Nancy
