What Causes Dizziness After Taking St.John S Wort?

I started taking St Johns Wort a week ago but I was only taking one a day for a few days . Then I started taking one twice a day until yesterday I started one 3 times a day . I noticed because I did a couple times take two at once that it made me dizzy ... My question is If I continue taking one 3 times a day for how long do I continue taking St Johns Wort?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It might be due to first dose effect. As of now drink plenty of water and take rest. If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
