I'm with you all the way. That is, if something is working don't mess with it. SJW can be, and is, a powerful antidepressant for some people. It's funny, my wife wanted to quit smoking and found out that SJW is good to take to avoid the depression and mood swings associated with cessation. She said, "It's just a herb". Well, on SJW she was like a manic speeding bullet. And I said, "Just an herb, huh???" She admitted, that is strong stuff!

I hope it goes well. Keep in mind that in some clinical studies they used doses up to 2700mg a day, which is nine pills per day. I think the standard 3 per day is often too low, and that maybe that's why it doesn't work for as many people as we would hope. Higher doses were used in clinical studies to successfully treat severe depression. Whatever brand you are using seems to be doing the trick, but if you ever want to be sure you are getting the same pharmaceutical grade used in clinical studies, then stick with the brands Kira or Movana.

Best to you!
John
