Hi everyone, and thanks to Kelly and everyone else for an extremely informative and helpful forum. I first found this site about a year ago, and almost started taking SJW then but didn't. Recently my girlfriend and I broke up after 3 years mostly due to my depression and temper, and I started down another path of self destruction that included quitting my job and ignoring several debts that started adversely affecting my credit, and just being plain miserable more so than usual and completely lethargic. Dark thoughts were entering my mind reminiscent of my first and only other breakup with my first girlfriend from years ago, and considering the pathetic plunge I took then I knew I needed help. My dosage began about a month ago, I bought GNC herbal plus standardized, and when I forgot the bottle at home a few days later I bought spring valley standardized brand from wal-mart and have since been taking 2 of each usually in the afternoon, for a total of 1200 mg. I noticed the effects actually within a week, with good and sporadic bad days since then, with today being the best i've felt since before the breakup when I was still employed. The way I'd describe the feeling would be more of a sense of my former pride and determination to not quit returning, with a feeling of "everythings going to be ok" along with it, rather than any kind of feeling of joy or really extreme happiness. Just a sense that every day is getting better and I can draw up plans for the future, and things I enjoyed before have become enjoyable again. Most relieving is the fact that I have refused to call her or let her see me cry or show weakness when before I could have called her several times a day crying and blubbering, and swallow my last shred of pride. Yikes. :)
I believe actually that I will switch to the GNC entirely as I was taking the spring valley exclusively for 2 weeks with seemingly no effect and I noticed my best days and consistent stretches have been when I added the GNC brand and took it regularly. Being an overall skeptical person and cynic about self medication and depression drugs in general, I can honestly say I'm starting to beleive in this to some extent. I only wish I'd taken it a year ago, maybe some of this pain could have been avoided. I'll be certainly continuing regularly and i'll post updates as more weeks pass. I hope this helps, and thanks to alot of you for the information and inspiration.
