St John's Wort - are there withdrawal symptoms?

"Hi Marceau ! There is a possible connection with reduced dosage of St. John's Wort and your "achiness". If a person's immune system is at a point where it would overact causing autoimmune reactions (like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus etc), then St. John's Wort by lessening depression, stress and anxiety chemistry can keep the autoimmune reactions at bay. One way to find out for sure. Increase your St. John's Wort back to closer to what you were taking. It is theutic in many ways, not just helping with depression/mood/anxiety. Also you need a source of calcium in your diet to help balance the magnesium you are taking. I also ume you are getting adequate vitamin D.
