St. John's wort works similarly to some of the prescription drugs available for depression. Anti-depressants have been found to be efficacious in alleviating symptoms of menopause. However, St. John's wort is known to interact with many drugs. In addition, because St. John's wort is not regulated by the FDA as a prescription drug, you cannot be assured of its purity or the dose necessary to have beneficial effects. You are better off talking to your physician about starting one of the anti-depressants (Paxil or Effexor for example) that have been been studied in menopausal women. These agents are a great alternative to estrogen containing products, which have been associated with cardiovascular disease and breast cancer.

Can you take st johns wort and not take 5-HTP for good resultsSome articles suggest taking them both. But i would like to only take st johns wort and not 5-HTP. will i see improvements taking it alone?
AnswerOf course you can take St Johns Wort alone, and you will still see some improvements. 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid and would help to intensify the results of the St Johns, but is not compulsory. Try out the St Johns and see how effective it is. If you do not see any effects - then you may want to add 5-HTP. As with all herbs, results very dramatically from person to person.
