Hello,

I have been using St.John's Wort off and on now for about a few years. I first started to use it in 1999, but only used it when I felt that anxious feeling coming. It's strange because back in March I learned some disturbing news about a relative's illness and it seems as though it took me into some sort of weird feeling syndrome. In August I started to see a physchiatrist and she prescribed Paxil. I was skeptical of taking it,because I researched the side effects on the internet. I tried it for about three days, but got off of it because I was scared. I have been taking SJW off and on since then. It's weird, because I go three weeks out of the month feeling fine, but then about two weeks before my period I start back with the anxiety feeling again. The Psyc. says I suffer from OCD and anxiety's because it's hard for me to kick negative thoughts or things out my mind. I still don't understand because I feel like myself for about 3weeks and then like clockwork when the period is about to come it's like my body takes a complete hormonal drop or something. Anywho I'm tired of feeling like a rollercoster and I know things happen in life, but I just want to know how to deal with them effectively without the major side-effects and to have a stabalize mood. And did anyone get restless at night when they take SJW. I also experienced a hot flash one morning. Is this normal? I usually take 300 mg a day, because the 900 and 600 mg seems like I get drowsy and nervous behind it.
