Ahh!
I started taking 900 mg of GNC standardized SJW 2 weeks ago exactly. I know that its doing something, because I know when I'm not taking anytyhing for my depression, I'm in such a horrible state of mind. And right now I'm not in that horrible horrible state.
Its doing something, but its not enough. I'm starting to wonder if SJW is really just for mild/moderate depression. I'm still depressed and have social anxiety. Its not as bad as when I'm not on anything. However, SJW is not coming close to how good I felt on Paxil.
Today I bought some Kira brand SJW. I'm taking 3 300 mg pills at night. Is it possible that I'm just going to take longer to respond to SJW? Will it take longer for me??
I'm also starting to wonder if the reason its taking so long to work is because I'm not exericsing. Before I started taking Paxil, I was exercising vigourously 1-2 times a day. The very first pill of Paxil I took, which was like half of 5 mg ( a verrrry small dose) I felt uplifted very soon. I know this wasn't placebo effect either, since I'm extremely objective when it comes to stuff like that. I'm wondering if the exercising allowed me to metabolize the drug faster or something. Has anyone noticed increased effects of SJW when exercising?
Also, by chance, how many people out there noticed a fast onset of anti-depressant action when they first took SJW, and also were exercising consistently? I wonder if there is any correlation..
Has anyone had to wait longer than 2 weeks for SJW to work? And, how did you know it was working? Did it just kick in all of a sudden?
Well, still crossing my fingers..

I felt some effect from SJW almost immediately, but it wasn't enough and there were still many days when I felt horrible, especially in the mornings. It started to really work for me after 5 weeks and, apart from the odd bad day, it's been working well ever since. It's hard to say exactly how I could tell it was working, but I did suddenly feel quite different. I guess I felt calmer, and like a weight had been lifted. Some people are lucky enough to respond to SJW quickly (within a week or two), but for others it can take longer. Don't give up on it just yet. Chances are you'll feel much better within the next 2 or 3 weeks.
Good luck,
Dan

I must report, after I switched to the Kira brand, a couple days ago, I instantly started noticing effects. I'm starting to feel more relaxed and not as stressed. We'll see where this leads...
