I agree, the only reason I tried them was because my Mum asked doctors she worked with what was best for me. They're friends of the family and would never steer me wrong. If my regular doctor EVER prescribes me anything I don't take it until she's checked with them first. Since they're friends they don't rush to medicate me.I've heard that mentioned before...but I dont know anything about it..I heard herbal remidies can be just as dangerous...
I believe St. Johns Wort is only helpful for mild to moderate anxiety or depression, you should always check with your doc before taking it cos it doesn't mix well with certain meds.
I hope you sort this out soon.
