Nikki, in my professional experience, the reason herbs don't work for some people is because they are not used properly. Every individual is different. Assuming that this herb or that suppliment is good for anyone with a certain symptom is utter shit. Just 'cause an article was written about it or Aunt Selma said it helped with her problem is the reason herbs end up getting a bad reputation when they don't work for you. I treat many patients with anxiety, all are different. If you want to go the natural route, seek someone who has the proper education and accreditation, make an office visit and do it right the first time. Herbal medicine is complex and effective, but only if utilized by someone with the proper training and experience. (this would be at least 4 years of school for herbal medicine and another 5 years in professional practice) I know this thread is old, but I'm willing to do a brief Q&A w/ you if you'd care to PM me to pursue it. I'd at least be able to give you some ideas that would help your individual condition.
Best of luck,
Manny
