Hello,

I took sjw few months ago and I got crashed. However it was only one pill (300mg, swanson brand). I totally lost ability to achieve erection and to ejaculate.

I quit couse I got scared. Hopefully crash resolved within few weeks.

I read that many people got worse and than got better but also many got crash and there are even some pssd cases only by takieng sjw.

Anybody can relate?

You could try different brands, different doses and use it for a longer period of time. Several people have reported an initial worsening and then improvements. No one that I've heard of has had success with just one pill

I had a lot of hope for this, but Hyericin gave me too many nighttime wake ups to be useful, and Hyperforin I’ve since recovered from but made me sort of feel numb in the head and worsened sexual symptoms for a few weeks on withdrawal....so sadly not the answer for me (bbg I have PFS)

Did you try lowering the dose? I see suggestions online like taking 3 pills a day when really they last about 48 hours. You could cut down first to 1 per 48 hours and then to 1/2 pill every 48 hours, 1/4 pill, etc.

Thankyou for the reply, I was only using one tablet max in fact and then did reduce to around 1/3 of a tablet per 24h. It wasn’t a disaster and I have recovered to where I was, but it made things moderately worse for a time rather than better

So how is it that some people claim that they improved with sjw and some got worse? If i got worse by one pill should I take it longer or forget about it?

Instead of asking others to take responsibility for the risk of your trials, why don't you do your reading? Because you still have a lot of forum and studies reading and understanding to do before you can cure yourself.

And read the whole thread then chose ypur own protocol and stand by your choices instead of coming back to whine.

You probably don't even have pssd because most of us are so emotionally numb that we don't fear a thing anymore. And most of us have it so bad that we're willing to take risks.

As for myself, I ended up not taking cabergoline with sjw because I already take many medications that can be harsh on the liver, and SJW already messes with liver cytochromes and drugs metabolism so I'm not taking risks.

I feel good on a daily dose of around 700 mg of sjw extract per day. I would say I'm at 60% of pre-pssd in all aspects. I was at 10% before this sjw trial.

I am also on 200mg/week of TRT (effects of which were absent before i restarted sjw) and aromasin twice a week. I think the aromasin (or any aromatase inhibitor) helps with sjw if you're a high aromatiser...I'm not sure.

Sjw effects fluctuate however. I feel the best early in the morning and late in the evening. But that might be linked to my fucked up hypothalamus, cyclothimic/bipolar disorder. I have always felt better at night regardless of wether or not i take sjw

I do have pssd. But yet I have some orgasm sensation (around 3-5%) and I am able to have erection with mechanical stimulation. Most annoying is libido lost and totall genital numbness. In case of emotions, they are very flat. I don't feel fear, its just my rational decision to hold my horses with another fuckedup trial. But yet I wanna feel love again so badly.

Reporting from my ongoing sjw trial
I am now on a 1050-1400mg/day dose.
The sexual improvements i had for the last 2 weeks disappeared, and got replaced by a strong benzo-like sedation feeling, I suspect from either gaba reuptake inhibition, or from beta adrenergic downregulation.

My serotonine gets quite high in the evening. My dopamine feels highish (increased motivation and movement) but no libido.

However, i noticed two things starting from yesturday: I am now able to have goosebump reaction. I know..
It's useless trivia, but I thought it's weird. I haven't had goosebumps in years in reaction to cold. Funny how I only noticed that yesturday.

The other thing I noticed today is my sense of smell came back. And I am now able to smell.. myself! My sweat has a smell, and so does food... who would have known
. Crazy!

Someone (@Idoagree) sent me a PM asking for an update, I'll respond here in case it can help others. It's been almost exactly a year since my last post. Honesty, the pandemic and lockdown seriously affected my already minimized addressing of my symptoms.

Since my original post, about 2 years ago(!), there have been some mild improvements. And the improvements I had at that time, which I attributed to SJW, have continued. The big things are MW and dreams. I continue to have MW almost every single morning (still have a soft glans though). The quality of the MW varies a lot, which I think is largely dependent on diet and/or supplements (if I take them). My dreams have gradually gotten more regular and more detailed. Now I dream almost every single night, and even the nights I don't remember a dream, I feel like I dreamt - if that makes sense. I still have a hard/impossible time visualizing things in my mind, but my dreams do include visualizations, so I think this is improving. I am able to get turned on and have sex, with varying degrees of performance, so this is also a significant improvement from before SJW. However, I would only estimate I get about 80% erection and PE really degrades the performance. Its enough to get the job done, but its not the greatest experience... I take extremely low doses of viagra as needed (~17mg), which eliminates the PE and takes my erection to probably 95%.

Unfortunately, most of the side effects that I also attributed to SJW have also continued – namely anhedonia and 0 libido. These have been quite debilitating, especially during lockdown. It was hard enough to get motivated before but then lockdown made it damn near impossible.

My current situation is that I haven't taken any supplements at all for probably about 2 months. Previous to that I was taking turmeric, black pepper, zinc, and salmon oil almost every day. I think the turmeric was helping a lot - I was getting spontaneous semi-erections and, in general, my size was larger (back to normal, pre-pssd size) while taking it. However, I think the turmeric was making me lose my hair. I experienced significant hair loss so I stopped the turmeric, and then stopped all supplementation. My hair loss seems to have stopped but its not growing back either. ☹️ I also got quite depressed after stopping turmeric, which scared me a bit because it felt like coming off a mild antidepressant.

Also a year ago I was going to the gym a lot, 3-5 times per week for 1.5 - 2.5 hrs each. I think that really helped, but most of this year its been non-existent (gyms were closed and even when they re-opened I'm finding it very hard to get motivated again). 2 years ago I was also doing a lot of fasting and intermittent fasting, which I also feel helped a lot, unfortunately this also ended during lock down.

So currently, having not done anything special for months, most of the improvements remain although slightly below the level of when I was taking supplements and working out regularly. The negatives also remain and have not improved at all over the past 2 years.
