Hey Tom
I took kira brand SJW last year for about 5 months. It was very very good.
No side effects and it definately had a postive effect on my mood. I stopped it thinking that it wasn't doing anything, but it was. I think myself and blueberry both had horrible panic attacks after stopping it, so be careful to taper off. And it just shows that it was definately doing something!
I used kira brand from boots. Be warned, its relatively expensive - something like £15 for 30.
There is some confusiong as to the dosing of British kira SJW -- but I think there is something about that on the sjw.org site nolvas provided.
Give it a good 6-8 weeks before assessing its effectiveness.
Unfortunately it is quite subtle, its not like parnate or anything. But it does work quite well. It helps depression and anxiety at the same time. Its the best pysch med I've eve tried. (I don't know why I'm not taking it now in fact! Hmm. I might have to get back on it).
Kind regards
Meri
