Can I take St. John's Wort and Vitamin B Multi together?!


Question: Can I take St. John's Wort and Vitamin B Multi together?
I have been taking St. John's Wort for some time now to help with my anxiety. A colleague has suggested taking Vitamin B multi for anxiety too. Can I take these together?

They should be fine, but SJW is not for anxiety. It's for depression, and there IS a difference. I'm disturbed by the number of people on YAnswers who conflate the two.

For anxiety, I suggest kava "as needed". Do not make it a routine habit, only when you feel that creep. Velvet bean and Chaste berry both work very well on anxiety, too, and these may be done daily. (They are commonly listed as libido boosters, but this is because both work on dopamine, which is linked to anxiety, sexual appetite, general enthusiasm, etc...not JUST libido.)

Others listed below. Please note that SJW only talks about depression, not anxiety.
