I have switched brands several times and I think have finally settled on Flora. It was highly recommended by all of the health food stores in the city where I live in Ontario. I have to say I do have more good days than bad. However, I was just wondering if any of you out there who are longer term users of SJW still have some really bad days particularly with extreme irritability,even when you have been taking SJW for several months or years and have (hopefully) found a fairly reliable brand?

Although I have not tried other brands, I've been told by herbal practitioners that Flora is one of the more reliable brands in terms of the quality and quantity of SJW's active ingredient. In answer to your question, on the whole I've found that SJW enables me to react in a more balanced way to perceived stresses and aggravating incidents, but there have been times when I have experienced the fluctuations and extreme irritability that you've described. Mine happens when I feel extra stress. Perhaps the answer to those episodes of irritability lies in identifying some of the causes/stressors and working at eliminating some of them. SJW seems to ameliorate my response to known triggers of depression but it doesn't eliminate my response. I have found that SJW makes me feel better so that I have the energy to work at eliminating or modifying my patterns of response to certain issues. Perhaps those really bad days are a signal that whatever is going on in our lives deserves a second look. Serina, I hope that those really bad days occur less and less as times goes on and that the number of good days continue to outnumber the bad ones. Cheers, Sara
