    Hi Mandy

    I have been on SJW for nearly 2 years combined with Vit B complex, Vit C and Omega 3 and it has made a lot of difference to me. Tried Cipralex and lasted 4 days due to the anxiety of taking them.
    Have taken SJW in the past too and it has always made a difference.
    Don't know how long u can take them for as I have always stopped when I feel better, but you must come off them gradually not in one go.
    Hope this helps

    Take care

    I've been taking SJW since April, only stopping briefly on 2 occasions when I tried anti depressants, but each time I returned to using SJW as I found the benefits much better.

    My GP says as it is working I can stay on it for as long as I like.

    I don't think there are any risks associated with long term use as long as you stick to the recommended dosage (I take 3 a day). Apparently after a while you can often reduce dosage and still get the same effect, but I can't comment on this.

    For me, they are the best thing I have found and I'll take them until I feel fully "back to normal" (which may mean I take them forever!).
