Hello Everyone: I've been taking 3 tablets of standardized SJW, with B-complex and other vitamins, for over 3 months. I could feel significant good results on Day 7, but, I still had too much anxiety and some sleep problems. I felt somehow that I needed something more...It was like getting a B in school, not an A. So, along with 3 SJW, I added HTTP, but didn't help at all. I then tried adding a 500 capsule of L-Tyrosine,and then tried adding 500 mg. of L-Phenylalanine, but neither of these amino acids (widely used for depression) were what I was searching for. THEN, after researching SJW, yesterday I took FOUR tablets of SJW with my vitamins in the morning...A few hrs. later I felt more cheerful than I had felt in months (I was astounded) and, last night, I was able to sleep for 8 hours, something that hasn't happened in a long time! For months I've awakened at 2:30 AM, and needed 1/2 of a 0.5 mg. tablet of Xanax in order to sleep another few hrs. (Valerian didn't work)...The only drawback last night was an inability to remember any dreams I had last night, (vivid dreams on 3 SJW), so I hope dreams will come through on FOUR SJW a day. My research revealed that some people safely take even more than 4 (1200 mg.) SJW a day. Is anyone else out there taking more than 900 mg. a day? WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT EXTRA SJW MAKES!!! I took 4 SJW this morning and feel wonderful today too. Please let me hear from others who are enjoying that extra tablet of SJW.

Hi Jeanette,
I had a very similar experience to you with 5htp and LTyrosine as I felt I needed something more than the three SJW daily. I finally decided to try three Kira a day, even though they are much more expensive (I have to import them from the US but even with shipping they are half the price that we pay here in the UK).
Now I am up to three and a half Kira most days, and four when I'm having a bad week - usually the week after my period rather than before, for some strange reason. Initially this caused headaches, but these have disappeared and now I have no problems taking this much. I sometimes wonder whether one day someone will discover a serious downside to SJW (apart from the sunlight thing) especially in large doses...but compared to prescription ADs it just feels so much safer, if side effects are anything to go by.
All the best,
juju

Having been on SJW for 2 months I think the effect is slowly wearing off. I'm interested in trying the Kira brand and wondered where you had it shipped from.
I may try taking 4 a day first to see if that makes any difference.

Hi there,
I got mine from www.iherb.com , it's a supplier often recommended on this forum. I'm in the UK and it costs $20 to ship here (about £15 I think) which sounds a lot but it still works out cheaper. For example, I ordered 5 packs of 45 at $11 each, plus $20 shipping = $75, which is £50. The equivalent bought here, which would be 7 and a half packs of 30, would cost £112.50. AND they turned up in two days!
Admittedly, it only works if you order in bulk like that, so the best thing would be to try a pack of Kira first. Don't forget if you are UK then ONE Kira one a day is only 300mg, so you have to take three times that. Don't bother with Kira three a days as they only contain 100mg each.
Hope that helps,
juju

Hi! I am always amazed at how SJW Works! I just want to smack people who still think if depressed people would just "buck up", get busy with life, stop moaning and groaning, whatever, that they would feel better. I still struggle with my symptoms, when I start thinking Really negative and down, that it's not a moral failure, but a Symptom, and I need to add more Sam-e, or more time in front of my light box. It's hard to think of "thinking" as a symptom. And it's amazing how a little tablet like SJW or Sam-e can turn negative thoughts/feelings to positive. I work with cognitive therapy, try to look at things in a more realistic way, think things through, but, it seems, if I am low on the light box time, or the Sam-e, I just don't believe the positive thinking/reasoning I'm doing. I'll take a Sam-e, and the next day, I'm feeling/thinking a lot more positive and better. Does this make sense??
