I bought some sjw. I took it years ago and it just increased my anxiety ten-fold. But, I also took what the bottle said, which was too much.
I've never done well on ssri's, and I understand that sjw works in the same way? I can't afford to get screwed up on something that will make me jittery or nervous.
The only meds that have worked for me in the past are sedating (doxepin, remeron). So, I'm thinking that sjw may not be a good idea. I've got to get back on something so I can live again.
In 2 weeks I've got a chance to visit family in Texas. At this moment I don't want to leave the house, let alone get in a plane and leave the state.
The hubby says just go back on the remeron, I'll still love you if you're chubby.
I've tried 5-htp, magnesium, gaba, fish oil (with some success), and sam-e. Everthing else would be too stimulating (heck I can't even eat dark chocolate I get so wired!), or too expensive.
I'm at my wits end.
