St John's wort supplement questions
Q. I noticed advice on St. John's wort on different web site as to "occasional use only" whereas others say take 3 capsules of St. John's wort a day. So I'm wondering what you feel constitutes "occasional" . Is there a loading dose followed by a maintenance dose that you'd recommend, or what? I've read elsewhere it takes up to six weeks to have any beneficial effect from taking a St. John's wort supplement.
   A. Everyone is different as to their response to the benefit of St. John's wort so there is no standard dosage. Some people may do fine with one capsule every few days while others may need more than one a day. We have had reports of St. John's wort providing benefits within a few days whereas others mention that it took several weeks. Most people do notice a benefit within a few days.

Q. Can St. John's wort be taken together with SAM-e? What kind of St. John's wort side effects could be expected?
   A. Both St. John's wort and SAM-e are very potent. Each, by themselves, can cause insomnia in high doses, so we don't recommend combining them unless a doctor who has experience using both supplements supervises you. Other side effects on high doses of St. John's wort or SAM-e, or the combination could be restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and increased heart rate.

Q. Can a person take St. John's wort supplement in the morning and 5-HTP supplement in the evening?
   A. Yes, if the dosages of both supplements are kept low. and you have no major medical problems.

Q. I am currently on a SSRI medication, Prozac to be exact, and I am considering adding St. John's wort. Is there a potential problem combining a SSRI drug with this herbal supplement?
   A. There may be depending on the dosages of the prescription medicine and the dosage of the St. John's wort. Much of the herb drug interactions is dependent on dosage. Unexpected reactions can occur when drugs and potent herbs are combined. St. John's wort has potent effects. For this reason, it may be a good idea not to take the antidepressant medication the same day as a St. John's wort supplement.

Q. Is St. John's wort taken with or without food?
   A. We don't know for sure whether it is better to take this supplement with or without food, but one option is to take a St. John's wort supplement a few minutes before breakfast.

Q. Is it okay to take St. John's wort with tongkat ali herb? What about Passion Rx?
   A. We don't recommend the combination of Stl Johns's wort herb and tongkat ali herb since both are very potent and side effects of insomnia and restlessness could occur. Passion Rx is also very potent and best not taken the same day as a St. John's wort supplement.

Q. Do St. John's wort supplements influence libido or sexual drive?
   A. St. John's wort supplements do not seem to have a major influence on sexuality or libido.
