In reply to SJW vs SAM-e (vs provigil), posted by saturn on November 22, 2006, at 12:50:38
I think you should avoid SAM-e due to your ADHD. It will make you more stressed (epinephrine) and less awake (melatonin).

Some claime SJW works like SSRI and others claim it works through MAO-inhibition.
There are several flavonoids in SJW that are biologically active (hypericin, xanthones, and hyperforin) so it is possible that SJW works through several mechanisms.
