Topic Title: Withdrawal of SJW
| |  "Withdrawal of SJW"
, Mon 6 Aug 14:10
After using St John's Wort for several months, I was told that this was not good as you should have a break from using it to get the best effect. I stopped using this for 3 weeks and began to get very low in mood and depression kicked in again. I had nothing to be low about when I think about it but I decided to start using SJW again. After just 4 days I feel completely relieved of low mood and depressive feelings.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes--I've been taking it since Dec of 1998, and every time i stop taking it, which has been a few times, in about 8 days I notice a depression beginning. I do not think it is a withdrawal, however, I think it is a return of my symptoms. I took paxil for a few beginning in the summer of 1998 thru October, and the withdrawal was marked and horrible, much worse than any depression I had ever experienced--rage and extreme unreasonability, "electric shocks" to the head, nausea. going off SJW is nothing like that. When I begin taking it again, I also notice in about 4 days I'm on the road to better. I am concerned that I have to take it forever, but we'll see. I have noticed a sensitivity to sunlight--however.

it's not withdrawal as some here said, but a return of depression, and I've had these before, but, restarting on SJW works faster the second time around(days).
