Hi ladies

Anyone tried st johns wort for peri depression and anxiety.

Ive been off my AD three weeks and not doing so well.

Just got st johns wort and would love to hear if anyone has benefited from it x

2

I can't take it because it interacts with my medicine. I would like to. Please let me know if it helps you!

3

I've not tried it but my Dr prescibed hydroxyzine and its working great for me

Hiya

is that an Antidepressant?

I will let you know. I cant take it till my AD has been out of my system for four weeks. So one more week to go x

I tried St.Johns but it didn't help. Im now on Rhodiola Rosea, a natural antidepressant to Zoloft. So far no depression but it takes a while like anything to build in your system. Hoping after it builds, no more anxiety and shortness of breath.

I've heard a lot about that. Does it calm you down though. Ive read reviews that people take it for fatigue and it perks them up?

If it works on anxiety as well I will try it as im getting lots of palpitations and shortvof breath again!!!!!

The reviews on Amazon were very promising. I didn't see anything in particular on shortness of breath but I figured if it helped with anxiety, maybe it will help with the shortness of breath. Its so awful and it scares me. I wish they knew what was causing it.

Its helped me calm a little, but I noticed no depression has crept in since taking it. Thats miserable when it comes.

Yeah the shortness of breath is awful x

Hi Michelle,

Yes I've tried it a few years ago and I can't say it did anything at all.

Worth a try though as some people swear by it.

Thank you. I suppose anything is worth a try right now x
