Good morning all,
I suffering for manny years now from flushed face each time i uncounter a situation where i'm ill at ease or when i feel embarassed !
Flushed face is a vicius cycle as you always try to avoid certain situation, that could make you getting red and the less you face those situations, the less your problem can stop!
Last year, i decided to find a solution, i saw a doctor and he gave me paxil anti depresant! It was find, i was happy with the results , i could face any situation without getting red !!! (Could be funny for you, but it is a real problem). I cut off with paxil few months later, as manny peaple, because of the side effects.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW if ST JOHN'S WORT could have a positive effect on my problem.
Thank you verry much for your help.
NB: Sorry for the mistakes, i'm French !

Hi. I get that too-even for no reason-even if I just feel like someone might be looking at me. It's really bothersome as I get even more embarrassed because people are staring harder wondering why my face is red or what's wrong with me. On my run with SJW it seemed to get better. Even when I would say something stupid and someone would laugh, I would just laugh too and not turn red. I had to quit SJW though because it aggravated my anxiety. I did notice that my flushing got worse when I tried Sam-e though. That was an unfortunate side effect. Paxil helped me too but could not handle the side effects. My newest experiment is 5 htp. I'm trying it for the third trial. I hope the SJW helps you.

I have been on SJW (Safeway Select) which is standardized to 0.3% Hypericin. I have the same symptoms. It seems like SJW helped me to overcome that symptoms little bit. I have been only on 2 weeks now. Have to wait and see.
What Brands you guys are using?

Hi, I have suffered from the same symptoms too. Definitely a cruel twist of anxiety, as if it isn't already enough on its own:(
Ironically I only noticed the problem after starting SJW, but don't let that put you off- I think it was just coincidence, as whenever I've tried stopping SJW thinking maybe it might be worsening things, I've been more anxious than before. I found herbs like Valerian and Passiflora help temporarily, though a combination of L-tryptophan, Inositol, B-vitamins and SJW seems to have helped me a great deal in the longer term.
