Glad you posted a question. I wouldn't worry about the seizure thing if you don't have any of the things they talk about on the commercials-history of seizure, bulimia, etc. Are you taking the WB for depression or anxiety or both? I ask because WB is a little notorious for not helping much for anxiety-in fact many people squawk about it making it worse. If you have panic disorder it is likely to be worthless, unless you are combining it with something that helps that.
hope your meds work out,
Mitch
