I started taking these almost 3 months ago hoping to eventually get away from anti-depressants. I have not seen any noticaeble change in my mood. I have been sleeping pretty good (also take something for that). Even though I take something for my sleeping, it hasn't always worked in the past. I do seem to sleep better lately, so maybe it is helping in that regard. I cannot compare it to other brands, as I have not used any others.
UPDATE --- 6/22/09
If Amazon allowed rating changes, I would increase mine to 4 stars. Since I thought this St. Johns Wort really wasn't helping me, I quit taking it last week. Big mistake!! While, I still don't think it affected my mood when I took it, I suddenly had trouble sleeping last week. When I laid in bed, I felt very anxious and nervous. I had nothing going on that should have made me so worrisome. After a few days, I finally remembered that this problem started when I quit taking the St. Johns Wort. I started taking it again over the weekend, and my sleep is back to normal. I guess since I hadn't skipped it for too long, it affected me again pretty quickly.
I will definitely continue to take this product. I wish it helped in other aspects of my life, but I am happy that it does help me relax at night and sleep. (I would make it 5 stars if it helped my depression/anxiety during the day. Since it doesn't, I give it 4 stars because of the way it helps my mind when I am trying to sleep.)

The bottle says it may take 6-8 weeks to notice an effect. Like the other reviewer, I felt a noticeable life in my overall mood in 2 weeks. I have also been sleeping better and drinking less wine with dinner. I read that SJ'sW has also been used to decrease alcohol consumption and I am a believer. My anxiety has decreased and I am a happier person all around. I have experienced no side effect other than mild upset stomach which can be avoided if taken with food. I was skeptical before I started taking this, but now I am an avid believer.

My 11-year-old takes these (he has OCD, Asperger's Syndrome & Tourette's.) Within 2 weeks we noticed an improvement in his mood & within 6 weeks there was an amazing change in his anxiety, mood, and depression. He is happy most of the time and when things go wrong, he handles them much more easily.
