Is this holistic anti-anxiety/ocd plan of mine okay to try?

[Macchiato]

So im struggling with ocd intrusive thoughts, it was bad earlier but ive calmed down a bit now and i just thought of a host of natural supplements I could try. Im gonna list them below

5htp

St johnworts

chamomile pills/ tea

melatonin (sleep aid)


my question is how safe woukd it be to take 3 of these in the same day--like say

Chamo pills, St johns wort and Melatonin ...

i wonder if theyd interact with each other in a bad way.

Also any other natural remedies welcome.

Just do the St John's wort do not combine these
. I hear saint John's wort is good? Do not overload your body. Just take this and give it week to see how you do.

Ask your doctor!!
St John's Wort and other herbs can interact with medications, and there may be side effects with the herbs themselves. I know it can be annoying going to the doctor, but it' best to get some input from a medical professional. You can even just call your primary care doctor and ask.

First of all have you read and re read the 25 tips for successfully treating your OCD. And tripply read/memorised the bits about coping with intrusive thoughts.

If you have, have you discussed it with your therapist?
Again if you have and are working with these ideas talk to a chemist about mixing these chemical agents with what ever prescribed medication you may be taking.

At Johns wor is know to react with medication so get expert advice.
