I had been feeling very depressed for quite a while and Herb Pharm, St. John's Wort really helped to lighten my mood. It's not that I felt euphoric all of a sudden; it came gradually. After taking approx. 25 drops of the extract in water after breakfast and again after lunch for several days, I slowly began to feel better. I was tired of my gloomy thoughts and, where I before could do nothing about them, I now was able to think more positive, which immediately began to brighten my outlook on everything. I found out however, that I can not take St. John's Wort in the evening. Every time I have done so, I woke up during the night and experienced feelings of deep despair. I have no rational explanation for this but I do know that it does not happen as long as I only take the drops morning and noon.
I like the Herb Pharm products and have used several of their liquid extracts with good results.
A few months ago, I had tried St. John's Wort from a different company in capsule form but they did not seem to have any effect on my mood at all.
