> After many unsuccessful episodes with many of the traditional AD's I stopped them altogether about two months ago. My depression and anxiety are still present so I decided to try SJW. I started taking it 2 days ago and now I feel very "hyped up", stimulated and irritable. Does this mean it may be working and I should hang in with it in the hope that this subsides or is it a bad sign??I am only taking 600 mg to start and thought I would work up to 900 mg.

I tried the "Kira" brand. Probably the more reputable.

I had no side effects and was a responder at 1800 mg/day.

Seems I hear a lot of people get a response at a much stronger
dose than 900 mg/day for more severe depression.

The medication pooped out on me, and when I stopped it without
tapering I had panic attacks (it should be tapered just like any AD).

The fact that you think it is giving you side effects probably isn't
an indicator that it will/won't work.

Good Luck
John
