I'm not depressed but I have social anxiety. I fear of speaking infront others and very anxious around other people. I always think what other might think if speak infront of others. I feel very shy while walk around in the office.
After reading lot of posts in this website, I decided to take SJW. I bought it from Safeway. The product is SAFEWAY SELECT St. John's Wort, Standardized Hypericin 0.3%. I have been taking last 2 weeks. First 2 days I felt great. My shyness and anxiety gone little bit. After that SJW stopped working.
Am I taking the right product?. Because some people in this site talking about Hyperforin. Can you please someone in this site direct me to the right direction. I am very desperate. Hope you all understand that

The exact thing happened to me this week. I decided to try SJW again and the first two days I felt totally great (even though you're not supposed to feel the effects for 4 weeks). After those first two days I had a meeting with my boss and my SAD came back full force and I felt like I just wanted to run. This is what happened with SJW before. It seemed to aggravate my anxiety and that's why I quit it. I don't have much advice. Have you tried 5 htp for that. I'm trying that again as it is more calming. Also, sometimes valerian root will help me. Depends on the situation. Good luck.

Hi I have tried using sjw but it makes me a lot more agitated and causes me to have panic attacks. (Ginseng which sjw is lightly based on causes the same effects as they are both stimulants) I have tried 5htp and have been using this 50mg twice a day one in the morning and one about 1pm in the afternoon. Touch wood I feel great better than I have done in years. Hope it works for you.

I was using a brand I bought at Kroger called Nature's resource. They also have the time release SJW which is convenient.
