I am not an expert on the subject but I am not aware of any special problems of smoking or drinking with SJW. I hope that your smoking and drinking are only done in moderation.
SJW is a mild antidepressant. You could try it to see if it helps your social anxiety. You would probably want to try 300 units 3 times a day for a total of 900 per day. Each pill should contain 0.3% hypericum. It may take a month or 2 to reach its full effect. If that doesn't work, ask your doctor since prescription drugs are stronger.
If your social anxiety is severe or you are currently depressed, see your doctor right now before starting SJW.
