Did you try taking magnesium supplements? If you are not on any prescription drugs then you might want to try taking some St. John's Wort St John's Wort shouldn't be taken if you are taking any antidepressants. If you are taking any other prescription drugs, then ask you doctor first before taking St. John's Wort. I am not taking St. John's Wort now, however it has helped me in the past. It made me drowsy, so I took it at night. I took one or two 300 mg capsules 0.3% hypericin standardized. It helped decrease my appetite and lose weight. It also helped me sleep better. It decreased the irritability. St John's Wort is also said to have anti candida properties. One side effect of St. John's Wort is that it makes one more sensitive to the sun so they can sunburn easier. When taking St. John's Wort try to limit sun exposure.
