I drink St Johns Wort tea to help with anxiety and depression because I'm too proud to go to a doctor (not a good thing) and I don't like drugs with side effects. It does help a lot. And I hate the gagging thing! People just don't care!!! Ugh! Getting angry just thinking about it lol! Anyway my emetophobia doesn't trouble me much at all these days - I found that over time it just sort of went away by itself. I don't think it will ever go away completely but its pretty mild now.
