I know this topics been done to death and as far as I can gather it's only speculation that SJW interferes with the contraceptive pill, so does anyone here have any firsthand experiences with this?

I'm mainly on the pill for my skin and I figure if SJW lowers the hormones it will probably stop working at clearing my skin up. But I also feel like I really really need the SJW as since I've stopped taking it I've noticed a dramatic change in the way I handle and enjoy everyday life. I don't want to take prescription AD's so I'm at a crossroads.

No firsthand experience. I think there is some evidence beyond speculation that sjw can lower the effectiveness of the pill, but I don't know of any firm research results. I've had success on a very minimal dose of sjw combined with ginkgo biloba for depression -- doubt that works for everyone or more people would be mentioning it, but a low dose sjw combination such as that might be an option. I'd check with your dermatologist to see what might be OK to try in your situation.
