St John's wort for anxiety

2017-04-08 16:18:47
I would like to start taking st Johns wort but I am scared about getting hallucinations as has been reported as a side effect by less than 1% of people taking it. How much of the herb can cause these and if I do get them, how will I know I am experiencing them and if I were to take the herb for a month or two, after how long will they stop
