I don't do natural remedies. My depression is so bad that the placebo effect that one gets from them doesn't work on me. Essential oils smell pretty for relaxing and that's about all I use them for.

There is really only one side effect of any consequence. It is rare.. And you'll know right away. It has just worked beautifully for me.
While we don't know if it was THE side effect (since docs are super cautious with this one), the side effect I got had me at the "DO NOT TAKE IT EVER AGAIN" level because of where and how it happened. I can't risk it per my doctor.
