Yeah, feverfew was a good herb for me too. It acts as a 5-ht2a/b receptor anagonist I believe which may confer the anti-anxiety effects.
I found that feverfew was able to reduce some of the side effects of SSRI's, namely anhedonia, and cognitive problems.
I mixed the two herbs feverfew (2a antagonism) and dong quai (5-ht1a agonism) which seemed to work in synergy. I think that some of the newer atypical antipsychotics derive their benefit from a combination of these two actions.
