Can St. John's Wort really curb appetitie and stop you from overeating?

I read a magazine article that suggested that St. John's Wort can help increase the serotoni in the brain, helping to reduce the cravings, and help the brain tell you when the stomach is full. I got permission from my doctor to try it. I was amazed at the first dose. I have continued to take it for the last 10 days. It worked great the first dose, now it seems to have lost it's ability to help me. Wondered if anyone else has had experience with St. John's Wort. It is a herbal supplement and has definitely helped my mood swings. Please don't try it without Dr.'s approval first. It doesn't mix well with some medications.
