I just posted my one month mark review on Monday. Last night I had an "episode". I found myself feeling not depressed, but wanting to cry. I didn't know why, but I just wanted to. All of a sudden something small triggered it and I found myself in a crying fit for about 2 hours. Makes me wonder....has anyone else had this come up? I know SJW is not a cure, it simply helps you cope. I am not second guessing the benefits b/c they do still outweigh last nights episode. If you have had issues such as mine randomly come up, whats your coping mechanism? I've only been on for 4 weeks and have had great results already. Last night was my first bad night of 4 months. I'd say it's okay but I need to hear testimony to get my comfort back :) Thanks

Hi Xikanita,
I know a setback can seem frustrating, but the way I look at it at least it means you must have progressed in the first place :)
Hang in there.

Since taking SJW, I am now actually finding that I am able to cry... sounds strange, but the type of depression I suffer didn't really make me sad, it just numbed me of any type of emotion – sadness, joy, anger, I felt ZERO. I have noticed just after a week and a half of taking it, that I have had a few crying fits, and starting to feel normal moods.
I'm not sure if that's a help to you... but I know that for me the fact that I've been able to cry is an improvement in my situation – depends on what the symptoms of your depression are. Don't lose hope anyway – they say it can even take as long as six weeks for improvement!

I had a similar thing happen to me last weekend; I reacted to a situation like I would never do otherwise by crying. It was a stressful argument, but instead of yelling or fighting back, I had the biggest urge to cry. It was bad.

I JUST PODTED THIS ON ANOTHER THREAD AND ALL IS WELL FOR NOW .
I thought it was working well at first them I went in a slump about 6 weeks into it. I sent Amoryn an email and they said to keep doing what I was for at least 8 weeks . I was thinking thats only two more weeks what good is that going to do so I keeped on taking it and right at 8 weeks it happend . It was funny because I was sitting at my carving stand and It hit me and I got tickeled at myself when I realized that I was feeling realy good . So if you haven't been staying with what ever you are trying you may be missing

I appreciate all the feedback! I'm not giving up by any means. Just wanted to share my experience to see what other folks had to offer in terms of the fits. I've been fine since. It's life you know...got to have balance. Can't be happy all the time...then I'd be in denial :)
