In reply to St. John's Wort; how long for benefits to kick in?, posted by JohnB555 on May 21, 2003, at 15:06:58
John:
I tried St. John's for about 6 weeks and didn't feel a thing. From what I've read and heart, St. John's does need a 1-2 month period to kick in. I used the Enzymatic Therapy brand. The only non-SSRI/natural anti-depressant that I've ever felt anything from is SAM-e, but its effects are very mild and tend to wear off after I use it for several days, weeks or months. I am trying Dr. Stoll's omegabrite fish oil right now for the second time, but nothing's happening with that either, even at a higher dose (10/day). My illness is on the anxiety/OCD side. Have you had any luck with natural treatments for what ails you?
