The starting dose is 300 mg 3 times a day for a total of 900, so 1,000 mg is not really too high a dose. You should do an internet search to see if SJW can interfere with periods. I thought I read once that it can interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills but I'm not sure.
> Hello,
> somebody I know took St.John's wort, 1000 mg a day (very high I guess). it really helped with her bad moods, probably PMS related; her boyfriend said she turned into "Miss congeniality". The thing is, during the three months she took it, her periods STOPPED! (so of course she didn't have PMS, right?) She went off it, ad th eperiods came back immediately.
