But for the past couple of weeks I have been feeling worse than I did before taking SJW, and yesterday and today I've felt very fatigued, arms feel like lead. Should I stop taking SJW, Is there a certain amount of time after taking SJW that you know it won't work for you. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Richard

These oxidize quickly and even though they say so are not necessarily standardized. I have had the same problem. Switch to Perika by Nature's Way. It is coated tablet so it does not oxidize. It is slightly more expensive but once you use it you will likely agree with me. There is another possible problem that I also experienced after using St. John's Wort. I was getting very tired and constipated. There are two solutions for this. The first is a laxative. If you have a build up of the herb in your intestine this is important because the standard dose is based on elimination of the herb from the body. Since the herb is absorbed in the entire digestive system, you may have a build up. The way to determine if you have too much or too little wort in my experience is as follows: if there is too much in the system you get tired and irritable- this may be caused by melatonin which is present in the herb(I do not recommend taking this over the counter hormone, those I know who have taken it have sped up rather than reversed the aging process in their opinion); if you have too little you may still get irritable but may get nervous and feel as though you have or are about to cry. These are natural responses to a rapid decreases in seretonin. I have been on wort for over 4 years. I now only have to take it once a week - in my case 4 tablets in one day. The herb has successfully treated my depression and anxiety-disorder but has decreased my energy level quite a bit.

I just started taking it and I feel good. I was wondering what dosage u take and if u drink any alcohol while on it. Some people say it interferes with it and makes them feel weird.

I haven't drank any alcohol for about 6 weeks or more. I do smoke and drink a lot of coffee, although I'm trying to replace the coffee with tea and coffee replacements. Admittiedly the tiredness I felt over the past 2 days also happened to be on 2 of the hottest days of the year. Richard
