> Alara - just to be clear, I'm assuming that you are taking 600 mg three times a day for a total of 1800. Is that correct?

Bill, I am actually taking 3 tablets a day, each of which contains:

St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) extract equivalent to dry flowering herb top...1800mg
Hyperforin..............................15mg
Hypericin...............................990mcg

This preparation is made by Herron Pharmaceuticals. Indication: Take one tablet three times daily with food or as professionally directed. (Equals 5400mg Hypericum daily.)

Judging from the case studies cited by Larry, I am taking more than the recommended dose. Is this too much?

I am also wondering about the safety of eating matured cheese etc on my current dose as St John's Wort acts like a MAO inhibitor. There is information on the net suggesting that the original fears about SJW and food interactions have now been abandoned. Larry???
