Do 5-HTP And St. Johns Wort Interfere With Each Other Causing Adverse Side Effects?

Hello,
I have been taking 5-htp for a while for anxiety and I recently added St. Johns Wort at the recommendation of a friend. I have only been on the combination for a couple of days, but I am already experiencing increased anxiety levels. I read on the drugs.com website that the combination can be dangerous. I'm wondering if there is any danger in stopping the supplement combination immediately, and if I should see a doctor regarding any long term damage I might have sustained. I am a bit of a worry wart, which is why I am on anxiety supplements to begin with, so any reassurance you could offer is greatly appreciated. My email address is YYYY@YYYY
