St. John's wort is for depression, not anxiety. There are natural remedies for anxiety, but since natural remedies are used in combination, not singly, it's probably best to see a naturopath to set up a plan, just as it's best to see a psychiatrist if treating it with pharmaceutical remedies. Any way you do it, therapy is an essential, though frustrating, part. Try reading the book Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA. She discusses a variety of natural remedies and how to properly dose them. Keep in mind natural remedies are not as strong as medication. And don't borrow meds from friends. Klonopin has a best way of being taken and not so good ways, and if you take it long enough you can't just skip doses, so be careful.
Please go to itunes and get claire weeks book on passing through fear! This book will help you start healing. I am 35 and went through hell for 5 months but now I am completley healed...... And yes I took meds.
What are your symptoms? I know, right now, I would be afraid to go out to eat thinking a panic attack will start and I would have to pace and try to catch my breath. :(
