I was just wondering if SJW actually helped anyone here with their anxiety problems? How successful was it? Did you take it alone or with any other herbs (kava kava, valerian, catnip, skulcap, balm, peppermint, ...)?
Thank you for your replies.
With kindest regards,
Agathos

I have used sjw for 10 months now for anxiety and can say that it is better than buspar. I have no side effects, I sleep good now. It took about 2-3 weeks when I started the sjw to feel relief.

Hi Agathos,
I've been on sjw for only 10 days now but I can honestly say I feel miles better. I had deep anxiety for much of last year but I feel I have managed to control it. I feel much calmer in gerneral and "can see the light at the end of the tunnel" of anxiety. It makes me feel like I am the one in control and allows me to stop the negative thoughts. For me, the depression, albeit mild, is linked with my anxiety so anything that works for one will work for the other. I take Omega 3 fish oil as well. Hope this helps

Why do you take the Omega 3 what does that do for you. I also suffer from anxiety and depression and I just started taking Paxil and Xanax.... but I really don't want to be on these meds... I wish I knew more and had other options. Any comment?

Hi Maryline,
I take the Omega 3 fish oil because I have read on several sites (havent looked on this one though) that it is good for anxiety. It has to do with the chemical levels in the brain. Aparently we eat %60 less good fats like Omega 3 than we did 60 years ago and this has been linked to mental health problems. My diet isnt always the best so it gives me a boost. I honestly can't say if the SJW or the Omega 3 has made me feel better but it certainly isnt harming me! I know exactly what you are going through and it is horrible but help is out there. Please feel free to chat with me and I will encourage you the best I can!!

Thank you very much for your reply. Most appreciated.
I have a similar problem - suffering from panic attacks and mild depression. The latter aggrevates the former and vice versa. Am curious - does SJW help people suffering from panic attacks? I've heard that some antidepressants are prescriped to people with the aformentioned disorder, so would it be safe to conclude that SJW could be of help in such cases as well? I've been taking SJW (in the tea form) three times daily for last 6 days together with valerian and some other herbs and already it feels as if things were calming down somewhat.
Has anyone else with a similar condition experienced any improvment after the therapy with SJW?
Thank you very much in advance.
With kindest regards,
Agathos

Agathos,
I'm on my 7th day of SJW (only one 300mg capsule per day) for panic attacks. I have not seen much improvement..... I still get nervous quite a lot; luckily nothing really developed into a full panic attack.
What I am getting is extreme lethargy, blurred vision and severe dizziness. I myself am not sure if I am able to continue this theraphy. Imagining driving a car w/ blurred vision and dizziness......

hello, how r u? i started taking sjw yesterday. it is in liquid form. i take 1ml 3x's daily. i am not kidding, i felt lots better the 1st time i took it!!!!!! i guess, the liquid absorbs alot quicker than capsules and you'll find quicker results. every site i read about sjw, it says the same thing, liquid is absorbed alot quicker than tablets and capsules and find better results faster and quicker, in 2wks..... i was prescibed paxil, i told the doc. no way, i asked about sjw and she said it's the same exact thing as paxil. helps w/ anxiety and depp. just try it and see how it works (natures answer) brand - 1oz bottle for 10.99. g/l

Billy,
maybe you really should try taking 900 mg and give it at least 2-3 weeks to see if there are any results. I've been taking SJW for last two weeks (tea form) and I do admit I feel somewhat better with regards to my depression. I am also trying to deal with my panic problems by using Cognitive Behavioural Approaches (and I have to admit they do help) and valerian tea (I'm also thinking of purchasing passion flower and kava kava).
Anyone else here has any experience with SJW and panic attacks? Floyd, did you have problems only with depression or did you also suffer from anxiety/panic attacks?
Thanks and cheers,
Agathos

Hi Billy, the dose you are taking is not enough.
Ideally you need to take 1 capsule 3 times daily ie 300mg per capsule with approximately 1mg of Hypericins - standardised SJW.
I personally have taken 6 capsules daily and haven't noticed any side effects at all for 9 days or so but it usually takes 2 weeks for the SJW to sink in. Hope that helps.

I have severe Social anxiety and shyness. I've been taking Clarocet since Feb 20th. I am feeling huge difference. I feel less anxious and shyness when around people. I started talking to people with confidence.
Please try this product. Earlier I was taking Perika SJW. It didn't help me much.
