Hi all,
I had been taking 900mg of SJW "Perika" for a month and a half, with no effect as far as I could tell. Then I switched to the Movana brand.
Around then, suddenly one day I started feeling like I had taken a little bit of Ritalin (without the irritability), tho I hadn't -- I stopped sleeping so much, I felt like doing things, and wasn't suicidal anymore -- all this in one day! And I still feel this way, mostly.
But I don't know why this happened -- Perika and Movana are supposed to have exactly the same ingredients (standardized hypericin & hyperforin) and are supposed to be reliable. I doubt the SJW just kicked in after a month and a half -- whenever I've gotten any improvement from an AD it's always been gradual.
I'm wondering if it's a bit of a manic switch, especially since I had been especially depressed and lethargic over the past two months, or if it's some effect of completely going off prescription ADs after having been on them for 5 years.Anybody else have a drastic effect from the Movana brand? Anybody got any opinions on my situation?
thanks!
