hi im a female from the uk suffering post natal depression went to the docs about 2 1/2 weeks ago he gave me paroxatine , i took theese for 5 days ,all in all i only took 3 tabs but they made me feel alot worse! so i phoned him and he recomended i came off them so i did , he suggested st johns wort so i bought the boots on 1 a day 300mg , in the first 3 days i began to feel alittle more at ease then i found out my grandad as terminal cancer which knocked me back! anyway after reading on the internet that 5-htp really compliments st johns wort i went to holland and barratt i bought there 50mg ones, also whilst in there i spoke to the sales assistant who seemed to know her stuff and she told me that infact i can take 3 of the 300mg boots 1 a day tabs!is thus right? and wat works better the tabs or capsules? today ive taken a capsule at 6.30am then the boots tab at 8am as i find im sleeping ok and would like my days to be back to normal .but when should i take the 5-hpt i took it yesterday along with the st johns tab in the morning at 8ish am but by 1pm i was suffering a blip (feeling tired ,low and my head was racing ) so i took another st johns and 5hpt at 1.30 pm then i began to lift around 2.30pm im really confused and like all others want to think postitivley and bounce back to my old self can anyone advise with dosages and times, i would really appreciatte if anyone could give me some support with this . ive been taking the st johns wort 1 a day for the last week ive only just introduced the 5hpt over the last 3 days. thx for reading x

Hi Petrabaxter-
The dosage and timing that has worked best for my particular case is 1 one-third daily dose of SJW together with 1 50mg 5-HTP (some brands of 5-HTP don't work- I use Natrol brand in the U.S.) three times a day at the start of each meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). I tried many different dosages and timings, and this one works best for me. My troubles did not start after having a baby but rather after being vegan (100% pure vegetarian) for a year in 2002.
Best wishes in finding what works best for you.
