ST. Johns Wort

[DrYRHead]

I found that if I took too much I would start speeding after a few days or a week. I forget how much I took but it was the double strength tabs about 5 or 6 a day or so. It wasn't bad, good for working and so on but it can allow you to push yourself too hard sometimes. It's good stuff.

St John's wort is a mild MAOI, so it can be effected by things that have been eaten before, or while, taking it. Therefore dietary tyramines and phenylalanine may have caused the stimulant effect. Serotonin, 5-HTP or melatonin taken along wit St. John's wort would tend to cause a sedative effect.
