Alex,
I think that the sleepy part comes with the territory when using SJW. The symptoms of depression, if that is what you are taking it for, can be very gradual in their changes so it's difficult to say what you should be feeling (that and everyone's body chemistry is different). I have been through depression before and was on Prozac and eventually, one day, I just realized that I wasn't depressed anymore. I am suffering through it again and really want to give SJW a chance to work (I feel sleepy too). While the SSRIs seem to have their place I am trying to avoid them for now.
Best of luck. AOD

Well I am taking it on doctor's advice cause I had a burnout. I was overstressed during a period of time and one day I just woke up and boom, nothing just empty and heavy head, heavy feeling on the chest, difficult breathing, and so on ... a wreck actually. After six weeks I started taking SJW ( now on day 7 ) and it is working for sure. That low energy level I had during 6 weeks is almost gone, and the tension around my chest also. I have energy to do things now. I feel tired during times of day but I think it will improve. ( I was tired before SJW also but with no energy at all ) I haven't been diagnosed depressed before but I have had always a bit of anxiety which made me overreact in some situations. And now everything came together wich resulted in burnout I guess. I also take Valerian to sleep better which seems to work fine .
What is ur depression like, no energy ? anxiety ? restless ?

Alex,
All of the above! Definitely no energy, anxiety, restlessness, feelings of hopelessness, you name it!
SJW might not be strong enough for me but I really want to give it a chance. I have been trying the valerian too but I still wake up at 3:30 every morning with a pit in my stomach and can't go back to sleep. I do fall asleep, I just don't stay asleep.
Take care, AOD
