I'd ask your doctor about taking it, and if he recommends it rock on! I wish you good luck!

Kat, thanks for your reply.
I do feel a slight floaty feeling, but that's nothing compared to the anxiety and depression I felt previous to it. I'd rather feel floaty than depressed. Also, I'm not really sure if this is an affect from the St. John Wort or a placebo effect, but I really have to urge to have intellectually stimulating conversations with people. I feel as if I can focus my words and share my thoughts more clearly than before.
Currently, I am not taking any other medications. I really would rather not take any prescription drugs, because I don't feel that they are that big of a deal or I've gotten so used to anxiety that it almost feels normal to me (does anyone feel that way too?).
Also, can drug use, like XTC, cause anxiety disorders? I used to be an abuser 4-5 years ago, and had a very bad experience with too much. Perhaps this may be the cause of my slight daily anxiety? Please give me your insight on this if you have any.
