I take it over the winter when my mood tends to dip and I find it really helpful - just seems to help me cope better without any side effects.

St. John’s wort can interact with other anxiety medications but on its own it’s very effective. Even better might be Lemon Balm (melissa), very gentle and it works. It grows freely in my garden, would grow in a pot indoors I expect, and I make a jug of lemon balm tea in the morning and drink it throughout the day.

My dad suffered from PTSD and refused take any prescribed medicine, St Johns Wart definitely helped.

I think it affects the pill though..
