Hi! First of all, I just want to say thanks to Kelly for creating such a great website. I found it while researching alternate treatment options for depression and anxiety, and this site is what finally convinced me that St. John's Wort is worth a try.
I've had mild depression and anxiety for probably about 8 years, but I never recognized it until recently. A couple of days ago, I finally worked up the nerve to make an appointment with my doctor—after an hour and a half of pacing and trying to memorize what I was going to say,—and now I finally know I've got a medical condition, and I'm not some wierdo that no one likes.
So, I've been taking sjw for only two days now, but I think it might already be having some effect on me. It could just be that I'm excited about getting better, but maybe that's not the case. A little while after I took it for the first time, I was laying beside my boyfriend while he was napping, and I noticed that I kinda felt a little wierd. I didn't realize it then, but I felt wierd because I wasn't fidgety(sp?) like I normally am. And today I felt so much less anxious than I usually do at work. I work at a pharmacy so I constantly have to deal with customers, and I've never been much of a talker because of social anxiety. But countless times today I actually had conversations with them...it was very unlike me. I have also felt a little happier but that's probably because I'm finally doing something to help myself.
That's my experience with sjw so far, and hopefully it'll only get better.

I'm taking the walmart brand (spring valley) of sjw and it has a bunch of different B vitamins in it, so that may be the reason I felt such an immediate effect from it.
