"i have been feeling down and anxious and my gp prescribed me an antidepressant for severe depression. i have been on a different medication before and found that although i felt more stable, i was reduced to a zombie. so, i decided to try st john&#039;s wort after reading good reviews. i started on 325mg once a day in the morning. day one - i felt amazing! i thought hey, if this is a placebo effect, i don&#039;t care! day two, i started to feel shaky and spaced out. my partner said he noticed that i became intense on worries and seemed worse. day 3, i took it and all day, i have had that same fuzzy brain zap feeling that you get with prescribed ad, nausea, brain fog, insomnia, ear ringing &amp; light sensitivity. i would not say it has less side effects."
