I started taking St. John's Wort. I feel kinda dizzy. Yesterday, when I started, I didn't fare too well. I ate a soy cheese sandwich with tomato, sprouts, and pickle before taking the pill and a vitamin. On the bus, I drank a protein shake (one of the Odwalla ones) and was feeling rather high by the time I made it to work. After about a half hour, I got really dizzy and started sweating some. I wound up puking. One of my coworkers gave me a ride home. I don't remember much of the next few hours, I was dizzy as hell and had to lay down. I probably fell asleep. The nausea went down enough for me to eat a salad. I called in today because I could still taste bile and I was still dizzy. I managed to eat some more salad and some lentil soup. I'm doing better now. I've had my share of chemicals, but this one (the St. John's Wort) is not like any others that I've had. It's not like Ativan or something that just spins you for a loop, but I'm still kinda spun. I hope this stuff makes me not so moody. I guess I'll know in a few weeks.
