Hi -
yes I was taking it for quite awhile (3 x 120mg/day) - I found it worked quite well combined with st johns wort (I am mildly bipolar with strong anxiety issues).
I'm not taking it at present as I'm still seeing how far fish oil/epo will take me in recovery and don't want to complicate matters with anything else.
I would say it's pretty harmless, but does work as I remember feeling about 100% better after my first dose of this with the sjw(I had been having really awful mood swings for a few months with lots of crying fits). It wasn't enough over the long term to calm me down though, and I would still get bouts of anxiety. Also, after awhile I felt a bit sluggish and motivation went down a bit - but if general mood-swings/emotional imbalance is a real problem this can be a lifesaver. It got me through a very rough patch and definitely evened things out emotionally.
