I bought an unusual brand of SJW last night to try it for the first time (mild depression, and to help with smoking cessation). The brand is "Oregon's Wild Harvest" (www.oregonswildharvest.com) and is an herbal rather than an extract -- contains the flowering buds (350mg/capsule), and standardized to 0.3% hypericin.
Anyway, I took a 350mg capsule last night, and 350mg this morning, and am definitely feeling something... it could be the placebo effect but I really doubt it. I feel slightly "drugged," and with an underlying feeling that could either be called agitation or energy, depending on how you look at it. Maybe even mild euphoria. This is much stronger than anything I ever felt with Sam-e.
Anyone else ever feel something the first day on SJW before? I wouldn't say my mood is lifted, but I feel like I'm "on something" -- maybe I'm more sensitive than usual to my neurotransmitters being messed with. Anyway, I'm gonna stay on it at a dose of 2 capsules/day (700mg), and try quitting smoking after about a week depending on how I feel. Comments welcome.

Just a followup note. I went and browsed Usenet (stupid me!) and found an article stating that whole herb forms of SJW can be risky, because they can act as more of an MAO inhibitor. So I went and tossed $12.95 worth of SJW in the trash and bought a bottle of Natrol. Will followup later in the "brands" section if it ends up working well for me (it's supposed to be a good brand, and Natrol is one of the top vitamin/herb companies)... more later.

*Serious* fatigue today... ucck. I feel like a zombie. Had to cancel some aerobic exercise I had scheduled, just not up to it. Hope this doesn't continue... I'm gonna try taking 900mg of SJW right before bed as suggested, to see if that helps.
I'll try making this thread a diary of my experiences on SJW and post occasionally over the next month or two... comments still welcome anytime if anyone wants to.
