Katia,
You do not, I repeat YOU DO NOT have a big bottom!!!!!! I'm sure that red dress is gonna look bitchin'. But I do know about the ugly duckling/swan thing. I think bipolar and depression does something weird with the face muscles and brings out bad hair day genes.Does SJW make one manic? When I first started taking it (start slow, BTW, only 1 the first week, 2 the second and stop there for a while to see how it goes). I definitely felt a lift, a nice little buzz like that first nice buzzy feeling from a bump up in Lamictal. I felt a little hypomanic, but in a nice way and then it smoothed out. I was trying all different sorts and the one I started out on was the Perika form (HBC Protocols uses the Indena form - different pharaceutical companies and formulations). Perika, I found out is the most activating and then Kira, so they're not the ones we want. I also tried Flora brand whole herb infused in olive oil and I think I liked that one alot, it was very gentle. I was taking 2 Flora's along with the 2 HBC's and then ran out of Flora.
To answer your question, if I take 3 HBCs a day I feel irritated and unsettled. It goes away when I just take 2, which is probably due to the bipolar thing.
I'm going to try an experiment and order some of the Flora again. No one knows how the heck SJW works, some say its the hypericin content, others say the hyperformin, but no one knows. I figure I'll cover all my bases and add a full spectrum brand, maybe adding 1 extra Flora since I seem to be strugging with some low-level depression blahs. This combo made me feel the best: 2 of the HBC and 2 of the Flora. I'll have to experiment on dosages. I need a set of test tubes for Christmas.
When are you going to your Grandma's Birthday party? And don't forget, if a gorgeous gal in a red dress didn't have some kind of a hypomanic wild streak going, everyone at the party would be disappointed!
Hey ya'll!
> Dman! I just ordered SJW today! I don't want to get manic over it. Like you Rob. But I'm on Trileptal too.
> I think that this light box is making me slightly manic....
> anyone else have this experience?
>
> I just bought a GREAT red dress for my Grandmother's 100th b. day party in Miami!!! It took my five freakin hours to find something to fit into my BIIIIIIIGGGGG bottom.
> I can be an ugly duckling one minute and the next the beautiful swan. it's uncanny. kinda like bipolar swings...but I don't have a red dress now I do!
> Barb, do you find that SJW causes mania? I seriously hope not!
