I've been reading a lot of posts on this site and I was wondering if anyone help me decide what I should take. I have a very low self-esteem and often think and talk badly of myself... then I get angry when others do the same. I need to lose about 50 more pounds, but I don't have the energy or motivation to get up and do something about it. I have a general feeling of "I'll have fun or I'll live life when I lose weight." I hate this feeling! I started taking St. John's Wort Monday night, but just realized I've only been taking 1/2 the recommened dosage.
My question is: What would you recommend in my situation? Should I take both the SJW & 5-HTP, or just one of them? What dosage do you recommend??

You should stay with just the SJW for now as taking 5htp with the SJW could cause to much serotonin uptake..The correct dosage of SJW is 900mg daily, split into 300mg doses..You might also want to work on those self esteem issues on their own, as it sounds like your going through some emotional concerns..The SJW could help, but getting to the root of the problem first might be in your best interest..
