Has anybody had the side effect of hair loss with St John's Wort? I've been on Sertraline for moderate depression (circumstantial) and the hairbrush is always full of hair and my hair is definitely thinning since I've been on it.
I'm thinking of trying St John's Wort.
Thanks L

Hair loss is an *Incidence not Known* side effect for some people taking sertraline. I would consult a naturopath about the possibility of hair loss with St. John's Wort and also because it can have it's own side effects and interactions with many common prescription medications, OTC's, and other herbal preparations.
