I am considering taking a herbal remedy
that has st john's wort in it as well as
other herbs for my anxiety. I am on no
other medication except the birth control
pill. I have heard that it can interfer
with the bc pill. Has anyone taken it
before for anxiety or depression? If so
what are the results and do you know if it
interfers with the bc pill?

Hi bek,
i am taking st john's wort. Well I
couldn't say it did wonders for me cuz its
suppose to be a supplement and not as a
cure. Not too much effect for me but it
ranges from peep to peep.
I am not sure about using it with your bc
pill, better check with a professional or
at the pharm.

I've been using it for about 4 weeks and I
can't say I feel better to be honest... I
was quite hopeful about it but it doesnt
seem to have been working. I thought
"give it longer" as it is meant to take 6
weeks...

I'd say try it. Ive been on it before,
and it may not help you feel that much
less anxious but it does make you feel
less depressed which all in all makes you
feel a bit better.
