After two weeks on Perika, I began to feel normal, functional, calm, and happy again after being miserable with panic attacks and severe anxiety for four months. I felt great for two weeks. Now, during my fourth week on Perika, I am having my fourth bad day in a row, with terrible nerves and black anxiety. Are these ups and downs normal in the early days? Will it work again or did it quit? It was working wonders!! Should I stick with it?

hi honeymooner.im sorry to hear that your anxiety has returned.i hope that its only temporary.over the last few weeks i was following your progress and your updates with sjw with interest.i'm into my fourth week on perika like you.i'm taking it mainly for anxiety and a bit of depression too.i havent noticed any major improvements yet but i'm still optimistic,it's early days.i think maybe my mood has improved a bit but not the anxiety.i have had some excellent days over the last 2 weeks but the anxiety has always returned.i think we just have to hang in there another few weeks at least.what do you think?the only other advice i can offer is the usual stuff.watch what you eat and drink.i have found that certain things make my anxiety worse eg. tea,soft drinks,chinese food(msg),and basically anything with artifical flavourings or preservatives.exercise also helps.i'm sure you know all this already anyway.be positive if you can and please dont give up.let us know how things are going soon.with love,Zippy2.

You have got to remember that SJW is made up of a lot of ingredients including vitamins and minerals. Overstocking your body with vitamins can cause tiredness and anxiety just the same as being depleted of them. Maybe the SJW restocked your body to begin with which is why you felt better but for now you do not need it.
Give it a break for a week, see how you feel and take it from there.

SJW won't necessarily work for everyone to the same degree, depending the problem, and even if it does work you'll certainly still have bad days- I try not to think of it as a cure all, but rather a helping hand. You may just be having a setback. Don't worry too much as a setback at least means you've progressed somewhere :) I would say stick with it for a while longer. If the severe anxiety persists for weeks on end then maybe reassess whether it's working for you...
