Haven't been on anything for years but still get mild to moderate periods of anxiety coupled with depression. This December I was having a mild relapse but the doc actually held of on prescribing me anything. I took a tincture of St. John's Wort for a few weeks and am now taking a chinese herbal formula (Xiao Yao Wan--the chinese "happy pill"). I am feeling much better, but not sure if that's b/c of the herbs or just change in situation (moved home, no more bills, getting Zoë, etc.).

Glad to hear that things are better for you...and thanks for that information!!!
