I have been taking 3 tabs of St Johns Wort for several months but have recently being under a lot of stress and have felt very anxious so for the last few days have taken only 2 tabs SJW (Kira)plus 50mg 5HTP before bedtime to help me sleep. It has helped me sleep but I wondering if it safe to take these tabs together. I would appreciate any advice from others who have taken SJW with 5HTP and for how long.

Yes it is safe to take the two together. In fact, Michael Murray, the author of "5-htp; the natural way to overcome depression, obesity and insomnia," often uses the two in tandem, if one or the other alone is not enough. Since SJW is your main medicine, it sounds just about right to take 5htp at a dose of 50mgs, though you could probably also try 100mgs if 50 isn't enough to make a difference. Anyway, hope this helps.
