Anyone ever try passion flower for anxiety and/or depression?

I was taking Saint John's Wart and I did feel better but I started taking Prilosec which has interactions with St. John's Wart so I stopped taking it.

I'm thinking about trying passion flower after reading good things about it helping people with anxiety.

GF.,

I think that suppliments can be a good enhancement to an anxiety management plan.:) (barring interactions, which you wisely checked out!)

I personally never tried the Passion Flower, but have read that it is helpful for some...

...worth a try, right?

Let us know what you think if you try it.

Hmm, go figure. Learn something new every day. I, myself, have never heard of this remedy. If you do proceed, be sure to let us know what you think! :)

I am considering passionflower and Ashwagandha. I've read good things about both! Worth trying!

I have never used St. Johns Wort b/c it is not to be taken if you are already on an antidepressant. I always check to make sure that there's no problem with interactions!
Please be safe everybody! :)

Well one day is probably way too early to tell, but I toke a passion flower tablet last night around 8pm and I was out asleep by 9 - 9:30pm and I slept until 7am. Not the best sleep I ever had but certainly the best sleep I've had the past six weeks.

The bottle recommends taking it twice daily but for now I think I'm going to limit it to once after dinner until I know how it affects me. I'll try to remember to update this thread in a week or so with my results.
