I have been taking Paxil, but do not like the sexual side effects. I have Nature's Bounty 300 mg. The directions say to take 2 capsules 3 times per day. Is this to much to start with? I have done research on St. John's Wort and like what I have seen and read. Kelly mentioned that he took his at night. The British study said the correct dosage is 3 capsules per day. If I take them before bed, should I only take 1 or should I take 3. Help me with this I am new at it. I can't take the Paxil anymore, but my depression is pulling me completely down. Due to my depression, I feel like I am not interested in the many things I used to be interested in.

I personally take my at separate times, morning, lunch and dinner (I can't swallow that many pills at once) and I just feel better knowing that it's in my system all day and not just at night. That probably makes no sense, but hey, it makes me happy...lol. For some reason, the stuff that I'm taking says to take 3-5 a day, it not Nature's Bounty, it's called Flora and claims to be 430mg. So I have been taking the 5 a day and have been feeling awesome. I did cut down to 3 a day for a couple of days and started to feel my anxiety increase again, so i went back up to 5. I think after another week or so I'll cut down to 4 then 3.
