I have just started taking SJW and am using ALBI. Anyone heard of it? what is the general concensus on it? It contains the 0.3% standardized hypericin extract but the caps are 460 mg. The suggested dosage is 3 caps before bed. How do you know if it contains just the flower rather than the "pulp"? Any ideas? I find I'm sleeping waaaay too long and don't know if that is the depression or the SJW! I've never taken anything before so have no idea what I'm supposed to be feeling.

Sounds to my like its the St. Johns Wort that is makeing you sleep so much. I have been takeing it for about a week now and I find myself getting really tired around the mid afternoon. Also as from what i have heard you only need 900mg of 3% hypericium per day so you may be takeing too much. Try to cut down one pill a day. I would also recomend GNC's Herbal Plus brand at the Standardised extract. Has been working really great for me.

I guess I should have been more specific. Each cap is 460 mg. The ingredient list states "each 460mg cap contains: (.03% hypericin) ..100mg/(SJW powder)..360mg" /suggested dosage.. 3 caps before bed. I've been taking 2 before bed in the morning and instead of getting up when I want to I find I'm really groggy. Maybe it's just an excuse to stay in bed and not "deal" with the day. Although once I get up I cope and get done what has to be done. I'm not expecting feeling of euphoria but I'ld like to "feel" again. Y'know? So how long should it take?

Well from what i hear and what ive read on this site it can take up to 6 weeks for SJW to take effect. You may also want to try a better brand. GNC has there Herbal Plus Standardised extract brand which i take and for some strange reason i noticed a differece the next day, just takes a little while to have the full effect from this herb.
