Has anyone tried this for anxiety?

Have never used it, but just wanted to say to be careful with St John’s Wort if you’re taking any other prescribed medications or on hormonal contraception as it will stop them working.

I found it useful for mild depression but I had to stop taking it because I needed to take a medication for something else that wouldn't have agreed with it

Haven’t tried but would be willing if I wasn’t already on medication. How about magnesium if you’re struggling with anxiety? Apparently must of us are low in it and it’s supposed to be ‘natures tranquilliser’!
