SJW has alleviated my Social Anxiety Disorder. I have been taking Amoryn & Seredyn for 4mths 1wk. 2Amoryn per day, 1morning, 1evening. Seredyn as needed, avg’s to 1Seredyn per day. Prior to taking I felt “normal” 17% of the time. Within a week of taking SJW I felt and behaved “normal” 90% of the time. Vague yes but if you suffer from the level of anxiety and depression that I had then I’m sure “normal” has a clear meaning for you. To this day, 4mths on, I still feel normal 90% of the time. My only substantial relapse occurred 3 days ago when I smoked methamphetamine (ice). Will not do it again, clearly the dopamine stimulant was the cause of my relapse. I hear SJW wears off despite my psychiatrist telling me otherwise. If that happens I hope that the tools I take from my CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) group sessions aids me in alleviating any relapses I may have. By the way I still worry, become anxious and sad but it does not get in the way of my life. It is minimal and I recover quickly. I would say I am a happy, sociable person whereas before I would have described myself as a sad, depressed, unintelligent loser. I don’t care if I have to take SJW all my life, if that’s what it takes to feel “normal” then it’s a small price to pay. I’ll post back in two months and let you guys know whether SJW continues to relieve me of my anxiety, worry and negative outlook.
Sincerely,
MefromOz

, Mon 19 Sep 00:53
Since last week i've been worrying more than usual, partly because of a major disappointment in life I had no control over. Worry has spiralled down to a lot of self doubt and I have started to avoid situations. Over the weekend I had to go to a wedding. Before the dinner, while I was at home, my thoughts hit rock bottom. I felt sorry for myself, cried and contemplated suicide. Strangely enough after a call I received I managed to go to the dinner, keep up a positive appearance and have a decent time. After the dinner, I continued drinking till I passed out.
I'm yet to determine whether I've grown a tolerance to SJW or whether my negative outlook is purely based on other factors. SJW and my ability to cope is being tested, I will let you guys know how it goes. I'm upping the dose from 900mg/day Hypericum extract standardized to 5% hyperforin to 1,350mg/day.

Hang in there. I often wonder if these herbal things I take are doing any good too. But I refuse to mess up my brain chemistry with perscription drugs again. Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck.

Amoryn worked really well for around 5 months. It changed my life. 6 months on and I'm not joking when I say it has stopped working. I'm completely back to the way I was. I'm sad most of the time for no reason at all. I'm going to finish my last bottle and consider Sam-e. It's expensive so I'll see my doctor about prescription options.
Thanks for the support LaurieLu. Hope things are working well for you.

I took amoryn for about 2 months at various doses. It definately gave me side effects such as increased anxiety, insomnia. The benefits did not last long and may just have been placebo.
I wouldn't waste your money on this product. I read somewhere that the amoryn company have also tampered with the ingredients in the product. I find this extremely surprising considering all the rave reviews on their website about the old formula.

Thanks for the reply marcus1. I'm sorry to hear Amoryn didn't work for you. At least it had a very positive effect on me for four and a half months. L-theanine and valerian are still helping with anxiety. Now I just need something to help improve my mood. Maybe my body grew a tolerance to SJW.

marcus1, im sorry for raising your hopes with my previous posts. i feel bad that it didn't improve your situation at all. from your posts i know you have taken sjw and other supplements before. this was my first experience, maybe thats why i reacted so well for four and a half months.
thank you so much for one of your previous replies, it made me feel better about my situation.
doctor just presbribed me luvox, wish me luck. (also currently in week 6 of CBT with mixed results).
