Consumer Review: I'm Using St. John's Wort Instead Of Paxil And I Couldn't Be Happier.
|
I was taking Paxil for 6 months and had terrible side effects, including: nearly constant nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, skin sensitivity, loss of sex drive, and a general feeling of malaise which replaced the depression. With St. John's Wort I have noticed no side effects and have been feeling good for over a year. I take the standardized extract (300mg) which is mixed with the whole herb so that I can benefit from anything in the St. J's that might have a synergistic effect with the hypericin. I take 3 capsule a day, 4 gave me the same skin sensitivity that Paxil did.

I was very happy to read of your success through coming off of Paxil and replacing it with Saint John's Wort. What a relief it must have been to be free of all those terrible side effects and to feel good by just taking a herb! However, I would like to just point out that Saint John's Wort has been seen to help individuals with 'mild' to 'moderate' depression only. For those who are suffering from a 'major depression' it is still wise to consult a medical practitioner and consider the pathway of an orthodox medical prescription such as SSRI's, of which Paxil is one. There are many available today and possibly one which would not give the same side effects. Good luck.
