Thanks for that report, John. I feel that way abot the Effexor. I'll feel that life is "in general" going better. Then I'll start forgetting the afternoon dose, bec. I'm busy instead of moping and focused on my pain. And before I know, I'm sliding back down that slippery slope . . .

I think the purity of the SJWort pills has something to do with it, too. Herbs are unregulated substances in the US, and my understanding is that quality can vary widely among products that claim to have the same mg content.
