Hmmm, my only advice on this subject would to definitely be not to take it with prescription meds, specifically other anti depressants. It can react badly
i take prozac but I would be down to mix the two, i have a bottle of SJW and I haven't taken it because I didn't really notice all that much the last time I took it. Since your going the natural route you should try l-theanine too, I really like it and its effects are kind of comparable to a benzo but not really.
my advice is accept stuff like that won't work, it just wasted time for me. i was stupid and thought i could do it alone by buying kalms, rescue remedy, st johns wort, chamomile tea.. blah blah blah. you need real help, go to a doctor if you can :yes
SJW makes my skin photo sensitive and I turn bright red like a cooked lobster if I take it in the summer. If I take too much it makes me jittery and my left eyebrow twitches. Also, taking a lot of it screws up my digestive system.
But if I take low doses of it outside of the summer months it does seem to have a positive effect on my mood. I've noticed that these things are very variable, effects are very different from person to person.
ps If you chemistry is like mine don't take this stuff and then drink a lot of coffee.
