Hops side effects?

Just wanted to get a feel for how many use hops internally and feel it helps? I'm trying to figure out if this is one to be used on its own or if it can be combined with fennel, fenugreek, wild yam...
Also, did you have any side effects from it? The bottle says not to use if you have depression, I'm assuming because it's a mild sedative, but it's also indicated for anxiety relief. Not sure what to make of that.
Thanks.

yes, hops is mildly sedative, at the same time anxiety-relieving. it may cause a bit'o'munchies (yes, it's related to hemp)

Hops calms the nervous system, which is why it's good for anxiety, but if you have depression you don't want to be calmed, instead you need something to brighten you up.

The main side effect with hops is that it makes some women feel weepy. If one is taking meds for depression, then hops may be something to avoid.

We call that weepiness the "Tear in my Beer" effect.

Hey Teresina,
I've been on hops for about 7 weeks with no side affects. It's too early to know about growth but it at least hasn't given me any problems. For a while I thought it was making me sleep harder at night (not tired during the day) but I think that was something else.

I agree that hops is good for anxiety relief because it's calming, but probably that isn't the right thing for anyone suffering from depression.
