I tried SJW 2 years. Took it for 2 months starting at 150mg. Worked up to 900mg, then backed off to 600mg. It did work great for depression (the apathetic lack of motivation lack of pleasure kind), but that faded after a couple months. The two most pronounced benefits I got from it the whole time were...socialibility and almost total elimination of boils on my butt that had been there for years. The pro-social part kicked in at about 2 to 3 weeks. Up until then I had almost given up on it because it was giving me side effects of nervousness and tenseness. That completely went away and left me perfectly calm and comfortable and able to mingle freely in a crowd no prob at all. 900mg had made me a bit too aggressive.
The brand I used was Kira.
For more info on SJW visit the forum www.sjwinfo.org. Two trends seem obvious with hundreds of postings...1)some people do well with hypericin standardized SJW (the cheaper stuff) but feel much worse on hyperforin brands. And some people do not respond to the cheap ones, but need the hyperforin ones. 2)If it begins to poop out, do the opposite of what logic would say...decrease the dose to restore effectiveness. So many people have commented on these observations.
