Hi thank you for replying Cath. I decided to stop taking the SJW - your site had listed puerophal neuropathy (sorry about spelling) as a side effect (rare) and as I already have that thought it wasn't worth the risk. And interesting that they also said that some bipolar diagnosed had mania as a side effect. That word exactly described the super happy (verging on weirdly happy) feeling I got so fast... it was not particularly nice!! I am shocked that it worked so quickly, thought it would be a gentle was of evening out moods. Does make you realise that even "natural products" can be problematic. Was just wondering if anyone else had same reaction.
