"taking a combo for anxiety -depression" , Tue 28 Sep 07:09

I have recently started having symptoms of anxiety, mild depression, flashes, adrenaline rushes in the early morning. It started about three months ago when I went off of a narcotic pain reliever. I hope it is caused by a physical imbalance but at present am trying supplements to stay sane! I started 5HTP about two weeks ago and SAMe four days ago. I take 2 400mg tabs. Could I add SJW to the mix? I feel a bit more up this morning but am jittery (not as anxious but jittery.) Too much of something? I read that it takes a while for SJW to work so would it hurt to add it now? I want to take care of this problem without having to go on something else that I might have to withdraw from. Good site, by the way
Thanks,
Barbara

If I were you, since you are also dealing with anxiety, I would try St. John's wort and possibly a small amount of 5-htp before bed.
I have read that Sam-E can make some jittery and jumpy which isn't a good idea if you are already prone to anxiety.
