> Hello. I started to take 300 mg S. J. Wort at night. I tried SJW before with not very good results, but I am interested.
>
> One of the reasons I take it only at night is that in the morning I have to take a low dose levothyroxine and I read SJW affects thyroid hormones in a way I could not make it clear. Maybe it does not matter if I take it with T4 because SJW has a long half life.
>
> The first days I took it at bedtime I first felt more relaxed but alert and then a mild sedation.
>
> Is this a sedative oer stimulating herb?. From when I tried it at 2 or 3 caps/day I believe it was sedating.
>
> Maybe I sould take it with lunch?.I would not take it with thyroid because it could affect metabolism of t4. I personally would not take it with any prescription meds for that reason.
