    I know SJW has been shown to be effective for mild to moderate depression, I'm wondering if it is effective for anxiety as well? I'm also wondering how long it takes to be effective?

    Kristeens:

    SJW is not reputedly active for anxiety disorders, but I doubt that it would be contraindicated either.

    One important thing about SJW, do not use it with other drugs. It stimulates the liver enzymes enormously, and most other drugs you take may become ineffective due to rapid metabolism.

    Be very careful of using SJW with other important medications..
