HI... Recently I had posted regarding the brand change I am making.. (switching from Nature's Resource.. to Nature's way Perika).. was also inquiring about Solaray.. but have decided to go with perika...
But what I'd like to know now is how people here who take sjw have decided HOW to take it.. ie.. 3 tabs of 300mg each in the am.. or one each three times a day.. three at night.. whatever.. please let me know what experiences you have had.. or if there is a "determined".. best way to take them..
thanks!
Holly

I take 3 x 300mg capsules a day... I started out by spreading them throughout the day. I too found the "foggy-headedness" that many people have described.
I took them an hour before bed, as per Kelly's suggestion... This did not really work for me either because I tend to eat dinner late - my stomach was always full, and I found the efficacy of the SJW was drastically reduced.
Solution? I take the SJW before I start preparing my dinner... It seems to be working really well. I guess my system processes it while I'm making dinner? (?)

Well, I'm certainly no expert ... I've had bouts of depression for most of my life... never taken prescription drugs for it. Only just started taking SJW about a week ago ...
So far so good... I haven't felt nearly as overwhelmed or suicidal, but I AM awful tired (like I'm in a mental FOG) with taking them 3 times a day, so I think I will start taking 2 at night and one in the morning and see if that helps...

I am no pro at SJW ...just taking it now about 3 weeks. When i took all 3 at once i got vicious cramps. I posted about that but didn't get much feed back about the cramps BUT it seems to be something that happens with SJW.. anyway i have cut down to 2 a day for now not at the same time...no cramps. I will increase the dosage today. I would like to know also when is it best to take them as well.

I started taking SJW 5 months ago. I took 1-300 mg capsule @ each meal just like the bottle said. About 3 weeks ago I started feeling tired about mid afternoon, & I was advised to try taking 2 capsules in the morning & 1 @ night. I found myself becoming tired later in the day; about early evening & I was also experiencing that mental fog, too. I have been taking 1 capsule in the morning & 2 @ night for about 2 weeks now & have noticed a difference in the tiredness. Sometimes you need to adjust the times with medication so that you get the desired effects & minimize the side effects. It can be a bit of trial & error to find what works best for you. This works for me & I found it easier because I don't have to take any with me during the day, & remember to take it when I'm @ work. I hope this helps.

I've taken SJW for about 5 years. For the first 4 I took them spread out throughout the day. I tried them at night after reading suggestions from this forum. That has made a big difference. My thinking and head is much clearer during the day versus when I took them during the day I frequently experienced a "foggy head". I think SJW tends to numb your body overall but that can be counteracted if taken at night. That's my experience anyway.
