Topic Title: Side effects or coming down with something?

Hi,
I started taking sjw on Friday night. It is in extended release
form that I take in the morning and in the evening. Already the
sleeping is better and I also wake up feeling rested. Don't know
yet if it will work with the emotional part, the big test is when
PMS hits again. However, I have been having awful headaches accompanied with nausea. This has been going on since Saturday. These symptoms are gone by morning but within 3 hours of taking SJW they are back again. If these are side effects, are they harmless and will they go away and when? Tylenol did not help the headaches. Do you recommend anything to help the side effects? Should I switch brands? Thank you for your time and such an awesome site!

You know, I have heard other people report these type side effects. And, I did notice them rarely when starting out. However, the one thing I do which I think really helps to temper them down is to take SJW when eating a meal. This definitely helps with the upset stomach (at least for me). The first week I did not feel all that great at all. But, it got better the second and much better the third. Fri will make the 4th week which is supposed to be around the time it starts having full efficacy. My suggestion would be to take it with meals, take Advil (or something) when you get a headache (this is what I did, not sure if it is recommended or not), and just press on through the first couple of weeks. Unless of course it gets to a point at which it really troubles you. What you are reporting are the most prevalent initial side effects for SJW though. So, chances are you are not coming down with anything.

I definately agree with Mike about taking the tablets spreadout through the day with meals (I also make sure that I drink lots of water both with the tablets and generally at least 2 litres a day) - this helps prevent nausea and also is really healthy!
The headaches are unfortunately a very common thing in the first week or so, but don't worry because they normally disappear after this time.
