Does anyone take this?? Ive been taking it for about a week now....you take 2 pills, 3 times a day. From the research I've done, it seems to be a helpful supplement for some people.......and it's helped people also with anxiety and depression. Ive forgotten here and there to take a dosage....I have to remember to take it 3 times a day.....so far I don't think I feel any different, but it could be the worry about my leg that's affecting how I feel..... just wondering if anyone has taken it or heard anything about it?

Hi, Melissa! I have never taken St. John's Wort. It has been mentioned on this board before. Remember that it may be an herb, but it still has drug properties. Treat it with respect by not mixing it with prescribed meds or alcohol

Yes, I did take this and no I didn't feel any different at all. I took it as it said to on the bottle. It isn't backed by the FDA so who knows if it really works or not. I had heard too that it was suppossed to work but it didn't for me!!
