SJW does have some serotogenic effect, and could theoretically affect you the same way.
It does however have other mechanisms of action, ie GABA, dopamine, and norepinephrine, glutamate and others.
The best you can do is try it slowly and watch for the warning signs.
Failing this, you may try SAMe, which works mainly via dopamine, and has only slight, indirect serotonin effect.
Best of Luck
