I was probably eating too much licorice I think as I was bruising easily..now that is worked out.When I ran out, after a while I woke up with nausea, shaking, sweating, weak etc.,..took a while to twig!...took some cortisol(only a tiny bit) and was right again soon after.
(I think it increases estrogen levels too..)
here's some posts on it

The DHEA is giving some cortisol..probably too much..its been 13 days now.. So 20mg is too much daily in the long term I guess.
I'll try to remember to decrease to 10mg per day for a while and see how that level is. I'm just taking capsules.>
> > Started on SJW yesterday, been on DHEA 4 days I think now...I know I'm doing too much at once, but I need some changes right now, will work out what does what later, even if slower in the long run.Up to 2 tablets of SJW daily so far (2 lots of 2700mcg SJW, which has 1350mcg hypericin in each).
