I am 44 y/o and I started st johns wort 6 days ago for mild depression. I feel really restless and agitated. I am stopping it but is there something I could take to counteract it or calm me down? I have had anxiety for the last 4 years and take Valium on occasion but I didnt know if I could take that? Please help, I feel like Im going to just explode!
Hellos. John Wart has been said to have some very mild effect in psychiatric diagnosis but no where has this been studied properly to be used in depression or anxiety. However, people commonly use it without any benefit at all. The best choice in your case would be mirtazapine 7.5 mg to 45 mg at night. This will take care if both anxiety and depression and sleep. Hope the reply is useful
