St. Johns Wort for Anxiety

St. Johns Wort for Anxiety

Hi - new to this forum group!  Diagnosed with GAD in 2005.  I was wondering if anyone has ever tried St. Johns Wort (either the tea or the supplements) for treatment of their anxiety and/or mild depression.
Thanks
Hope all goes well....

You have inspired me, Tink, to write a journal entry about that very subject. Why not a have a look? It's called "Medications, Supplements and Vitamins -Oh My!" Let me know how it impresses you -or not.

Good luck and please stay with us.

Sorry -you are new here and don't know about journals yet. When you get a moment, click here and there to learn about things and if you need some special help, let me know -that's my job here.

Meanwhile, yes, all members can create their own journal entries and read and add comments to entries made by other members. To see MY entries, click my name (JSGeare) then click View Profile, then click the journals tab (if the one I mentioned is not already on top). That's all it takes. There is also a journal entry that has some beginner's tips.

Enjoy!

Hiya Tink,

My son tried St Johns wort for his anxiety/depression and it wasn't very effective for him. Everyone is different as we all respond differently to mainstream medications as well. I would be careful taking herb supplements if you are on any other type of medication unless you check with your doctor... pharmacist... nutritionist or herbalist.

Regards,
Jerz

Did he try the tea or the pills and do you know what the percentage of hypercium and hyperforium was?
Thanks

Sorry not sure what the percentages of the two were and this was quite a few years ago.
