Is it safe to give a 16 year old St.Johns Wort to control anger??
human
All his life my son had to be on narcotic medicine and zoloft to treat his aspergers.  When I saw he couldn't stay awake anymore, it scared me.  I didn't give them to him anymore. He is still having severe anger issues. He is 16 now.  He lives with me, his mother and has not seen or heard from his father in about nine years.  I believe from what I have seen and heard, this is the stem of his anger.   Is it safe to give him St. Johns Wort? I used to take it and I know it calmed me and made me feel better. The bottle says not intended for people under 18.  I am desperate, could he take one pill a day?

HIThanks for using healthcare magicSt. Johns Wort is multivitamin supplement and it does not have any side effects. If you want to give it to your son, you can give it. St. Johns Wort does not any major interaction with zoloft or narcotic medicine. For depression, 150-1,800 milligrams St. John's wort can be taken by mouth once to three times daily for up to eight weeks.
