International unit is what IU stands for. It's just another way to measure medicines.

Just so you know, if you have any health conditions and are able to talk to a doctor, you can get help with your anxiety and depression from your primary care doctor.

I would ask these kinds of questions to your primary care physician. If you don't have a doctor, does your community have a free medical clinic or mental health center or visiting nurse association that you could contact for help? It can be risky to mix lots of over-the-counter supplements when you do not have medical knowledge. Even asking a pharmacist what to do would be a good idea. I hope you feel better soon. Getting fresh air and physical exercise can help, little by little, as well as talking to someone who cares and is supportive of you. I have been on antidepressant meds since 1984 but suffered for years. Finally, the med I was prescribed in 1992 worked. I'm still taking it! It still works. I have to practice healthy coping skills, too. It's not the pills alone. I have learned a lot of healthy coping skills by talking with my therapist and being in a support group. God bless you and I hope you can get the help you need!

I started taking HCF which helps with my anxiety. I think someone on this site recommended it. I haven't tried htp. I hope it works for you.

I haven't heard of that. I take St. John's wort. It's what works for me. When my depression was at its worse, I took Zoloft. Good luck.
