Topic Title: finally started taking SJW
| | "finally started taking SJW" , Tue 25 Jan 11:01
Hi im a 23 year old male from south east England, near London. I went slightly wild in my late teens and ended up going to work in Holland for 8 months, in which time i went a tad crazy on the drug front, anyway it ended up me taking an overdose of magic mushrooms. This sent me completely off the rails. I was having flash backs which were causing constant panic attacks and obssessive negative thinking. This was nearly 4 years ago now and to a certain extent i have had to rebuild my life, but its still always in the back of my mind and a lot of the time causing me anxiety and negative thinking. I have never taken any form of medication or herbal remedy to help my condition as i have this fear of thinking im only gonna be happy cos im on drugs. Until 2 days ago after a lot of thought i decided to try SJW, there seems to be only good reports about them so why not. After the first day i could already feel the effects, i have felt a bit spaced out at times and slightly more panicy. I am on my second day and still feel a bit weird, will this go away? If you have read the whole of this thanks, sorry its a bit long! I welcome any kind of feedback! Great site by the way Kelly!

Brook- I just wanted you to know that 10 years ago the same thing happend to me- taking too much lsd threw me into an anxiety and panic disorder that I still have today- if you need someone to talk to about it please feel free to email me - by the way- I was on desyrel - my doctors put me opn a horse tranquilizer 10 years go, and the side effects from that made me never take medications of any kind again- well as I write ot you I am on my first dose of ST. Johns Wort, and feeling really anxious- but I think that may be in my head - I hear it makes you lathargic at first - I think you may not be taking enough I know too many peopple that have taken it and they dont really feel anything at first- so you might want to consider that your anxiety is causing a placebo effect- either way, I know what your going through- email me if you would like , talking about it helps. Jenny

Brook, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Keep taking the SJW. IT is natural and not at all the same as synthetic drugs. In time you will notice the anxiety lessen and you will fell calmer. SJW can take up to 4-6 weeks to feel the full effects, so hang in there. Remember, the Lord made SJW to help us because he loves us. Don't give up!

Thanks Perika, its been five days now and i cut my dose down to 300mg a day as i am only of a reasonably small frame and i have been having terrible anxiety. I have been in 2 minds whether or not i should keep taking them, its like my mind doesn't want me to except them, increasing my anxiety to fight them. But as this morning i have read your message and found it very encouraging, i will continue to take the 300mg a day and see if i feel better, will this be enough,we will see.
Thanks again Perika.

Brook, thanks for your message. I will check back to see how you are doing. Remember it does take time so if you do not feel better immediately just try to be patient. It will work, just hold on, you will feel better soon. God is helping you. He led you to this page and to SJW which he created to help us. I hope to hear back from you soon. We are rooting for you!

Hello there, I'm on the 8th day today and still havn't improved. my anxiety seems to be a lot worse and i am only taking one 300mg tablet a day, i think it may have triggered something. My moods seem to be up and down all day to the very extremes, i am being patient and shall keep taking them as it is only the early stages. If this doesn't get better i will definetly stop taking them. My problems were triggered by a halucinagenic drug overdose, so i think that maybe because they are making me feel different, post traumatic stress is kicking in.

Brook, Why not try taking 300mg at each meal instead of only one per day? You may not be taking enough as 900mg per day is the recommended dosage. I wonder if there are still chemicals in your system from the drugs you did. In time they should wear off. I hope your anxiety calms down soon.
