I'm about to take the plunge and start one of them. Or maybe both, if the first one goes well and side effects are minor.

I just need some stuff that takes the edge of the physical symptoms of anxiety whenever I have an 'attack' / episode. Valerian Root seems to fit the description.

Also, St. John's Wort is a herbal alternative to SNRI's, which also sounds good to me. Hopefully that will work over time to get my general anxiety levels down and happiness up.

I have some Valerian Root Extract pills at home already. Anyone has experience with these? Do I take those daily? Or 'as needed'?

Did anyone use this and succesfully lowered their anxiety symptoms?
