Your experiences with St John's Wort, OCD and Paxil post op?

I have ?'s about 3 things. I've read what's on file about these & now want to see if I might get more input with a new post. I seem to be increasing in obsessive-type thoughts and anxiety since my surgery (I am almost 4 mos post op). Did this happen to others after surgery? I am so moody and bitchy and have been having strange thoughts about imagining horrific scenarios (bodily injury to myself and others, terrible accidents). Has anyone tried St John's Wort post op? Did it upset your stomach? Did it help? Did you have any obsessive thoughts or anxiety? Those who took Paxil, did you have any gastric upset post op? (I did with Celexa. It made my pouch hurt really bad, that's why I am asking.) What about other side effects with Paxil? Did it help you?
