Consult a doctor, I don't know anyone who has had success with herbal remedies. Maybe someone else here has some other experiences with it.

I am on St.Johns wort. I have been on prescription meds for over 10 years and got tired of the side effects. I stopped my prescription meds and switched to vitamins/minerals/herbs.

I take 2 capsules 3 x/dy everyday. I have not discussed this with my doctor yet, but I will next visit.

I also take Kava kava, and ginko biloba along with many other vitamins. I feel great.

hairjewels,
How long did it take for the SJW and vitamins to kick in?
I've been reading a book by Joan Mathews and she lists a variety of vitamins and minerals that are supposed to reduce depression and anxiety. I was thinking about giving her program a try.
