well, as some of you probably know, i struggle with depression. so i did some research about what i could do about it, and came across this st johns wort stuff. its supposed to help with depression and generally support a positive mood, so i bought some of it. im 16, i have no known allergies, ive never had any serious help problems, and each capsule has 300 mg...any advice, warnings or suggestions about taking it? ive read that the standard dose is 3 300mg capsules a day, is that ok for a 16 year old?

also, has anybody taken it themselves? has it helped your depression or mood? ive read that you have to take it for at least 6 weeks or so before you notice the effects.

thanks in advance.
