I've used it often and its very effective but wouldnt recommend it for anything other than a mild dose of the blues.

Have a look at this http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/special_reports/depression/stjwort.htm and this http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000426/ because it can cause problems if you are taking other medication. love elaine xx

It can take 2/3 weeks before you see any effect but def worth trying before anti- depressants, may be all you need. Hope you feel better soon. Cassie x

You can read about it here it tell you how it works and the side effects and conditions where you shouldn't take it http://www.5-htp.org.uk/ But as always you should check with a DR first to see if it interacts with anything or you have a condition that would prevent you from being able to take it. It worked for me with no ill side effects but it may not be for everyone. X Lynn X Last Edited By: 1snoopy2 09/05/2008 22:53:43. Edited 1 times.

Have you tried Tranquility Tea - you can get in Holland and Barrett, or any health store, very good if feeling frazzled. Also Bach's Rescue remedy - (can also get in Holland and Barrett, or any chemist) - I always have some handy, its great for when you are feeling stressed and down. Finally, Korean Ginseng capsule ( yes Holland an Barrett again - I must keep them in business LOL). also can buy this in Tesco's. You take a course of this maxiumum eight weeks ( which is usually enough) then rest for two weeks if you want to take more, but its great for giving someone a boost, and can help. With any Herbal rememedy if you are on any medication or have any health problems ask in the Health shop or ask in your local Pharmacy to make sure you can take them. Of course my favourite thing when i'm feeling down is some Ben and Jerrys ice cream, has some gorgeous flavours, bound to find one you like! Hope any of this is of some help. Hugs, Tee x Last Edited By: HoneyTee 09/05/2008 22:50:51. Edited 1 times.
