Title: Effective, but it caused me to lose hair :(
Review: I took some form or another of Nature's Way St. John's Wort for over a year. It was very effective for helping to treat the ongoing dysthymia/depression I suffered after some major life changes. However, if one is at all prone to hair loss, avoid this product. I once had very thick hair, but it has been thinning on top for the past year. It started about a month after I began using this product. I assumed it was another bout of telogen effluvium (something I experienced after losing 50 pounds), but it had continually gotten worse. I did some research, and discovered that St. John's Wort has been shown to cause hair loss. Sadly, my hair is an absolute mess compared to what it used to be. I'm now on biotin, silica, and lots of protein treatments to help protect what I still have. Hopefully, my hair will start growing back in soon.Update 1/23/13:Happily, my hair is growing back! Woohoo! At least the loss is reversible.
