St Johns wort withdrawals
I took st johns wort around th 20th September for roughly 10 days on and off and on the 2nd October I decided to stop cause they weren't helping and thought i was getting worse.
I had tremendous headaches and night sweats ever since, although these have improved.
But ive had insomnia since I stopped taking them. I didn't think a herbal remewould cause such side effects until I googled it and found similar threads on Reddit..
Its been apprx 5 weeks since stopping and I am sleeping roughly between 2-5 hours and night and I don't think this is ever going to end. Its effecting daily life and im constantly tired. I have tried Nytol tablets and although they did help me sleep around 5 hrs they also give me headaches.
I hope someone has had a similar experience with St Johns wort and can help me along the way? Does the insomnia go away?
I feel so silly that I didn't do enough research on this and thought it was more of a placebo
