Answer 1

Hi i as feeling low after  my uncles death, so was advised to take these by my doctor b4 trying anti depresents. THey worked 4 me and i was back to my usually bubbly self within 2-3weeks. If ur on any contraception see your doc though, as u may end up pregant like my sis lol. (STW cancels out the pill and other contraceptives) Good luck and hope ur feelin better soon x

Answer 2

Just make sure it is not Ragwort as this poisons your liver.

It looks similar with the yellow flowers etc, but I recon you are going for something from the chemist perhaps?

You don't recon it's something in your environment that is distressing you?  or someone?

Answer 3

Yes, S.J.W really does work - I was feeling quite low and started taking them and felt noticably better in a week.  You should be able to buy it in most health food shops.

As someone else said, don't take if you're on the Pill as it messes it up!
