st johns wort

hi not sure if this the right place to post this but on sunday i started taking st johns wort and today i feel really lousy and heady - might not have anything to do with tabs could just be a cold! anyhoos, was wondering if anyone had experience of these tablets and if they work/how they work and did anyone get any side effects?
i do feel a bit sicky/tired/sorethroat/headaches but as i say there is a lot going around at the mo and could just be pure coincidence.
btw i am not taking any other medication as i know st johns wort can interfere with it.
Thanks in advance
