HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Anxiety Relief by Dr. Garber's
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Dr. Garber's Anxiety Relief is a liquid containing five active ingredients: Fig Tree, Lime Tree, Silver Birch, Lepidolite, and Hypothalamus extract.
Fig and Lime are plant extracts traditionally used in herbal medicine, Silver Birch contributes plant compounds, and the last two are mineral and animal-derived components. The product also contains glycerin, purified water, and alcohol as inactive ingredients to preserve and carry the active components.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. Fig Tree, Lime Tree, and Silver Birch all carry effectiveness ratings of "Insufficient Reliable Evidence" for the conditions they're traditionally used for — meaning there isn't enough solid clinical data in our records to say whether they work.
We have no effectiveness data on file for Lepidolite or Hypothalamus extract for anxiety or any other condition.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fig Tree fruit is generally well tolerated, but concentrated leaf extracts lack solid safety data. Lime is safe in normal food amounts, though concentrated extracts should be avoided without checking with your doctor first.
Silver Birch is generally tolerated in food-like amounts but carries allergy risk and quality concerns. Safety data is not established for Silver Birch during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Fig Tree shows a "Likely Safe" rating in pregnancy and lactation, but there's insufficient information on Lime Tree for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Rare allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported with fig, and contact dermatitis with both fig leaf and birch.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have known allergies to plants in the Moraceae or Betulaceae families, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Dr. Garber's Anxiety Relief, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take photosensitizing drugs like quinolone antibiotics (Cipro), tetracyclines, sulfa drugs, or certain antidepressants — Fig and Lime can raise your risk of severe sun sensitivity.
Also flag blood sugar medications and insulin (Fig may lower blood sugar further), heart drugs and erectile dysfunction medications that are CYP3A4 substrates (Lime may make them stronger), and water pills (Silver Birch may reduce their effect).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines several plant and mineral ingredients with limited evidence of effectiveness and some documented medication interactions — most notably with blood sugar drugs, photosensitizing medications, and certain heart drugs. If you take insulin, diabetes medications, antibiotics, antidepressants, water pills, or any drugs for heart health or sexual function, check your specific medications with the tool on this page before taking it.
Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or sun-sensitive.

Anxiety Relief by Dr. Garber's Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dr.
Garber's Anxiety Relief contains five ingredients, three of which we have interaction data for. The most serious concern involves Fig Tree and photosensitizing drugs — meaning medications that make your skin more sensitive to the sun (like some antibiotics, antidepressants, and sulfa drugs).
Fig can raise your risk of severe sun damage to your skin, and there have been reports of photodermatitis serious enough to require hospitalization. Altogether, these interactions span 967 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fig Tree and Lime Tree both interact with photosensitizing drugs at Moderate severity. Additionally, Fig may enhance how insulin and blood sugar medications work, which could lower your blood sugar more than intended.
Lime also may slow how your liver processes certain drugs (called CYP3A4 substrates, which include some heart and erectile dysfunction medications), potentially making them stronger in your bloodstream. Silver Birch has a Minor interaction with water pills (diuretics) — it may interfere with how well they work.
We could not check two ingredients: Lepidolite and Hypothalamus extract — we hold no interaction data for them. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact drugs, especially if you take blood sugar medications, blood pressure or heart drugs, water pills, or anything that makes you sun-sensitive.

For each ingredient in Anxiety Relief with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Lime Tree
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Animal research shows that phenolics in lime juice inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4. This has been demonstrated in rats treated with sildenafil, a CYP3A4 substrate, and high doses of lime juice.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of lime oil with photosensitizing drugs may increase the risk of phototoxicity.
Fig Tree
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fig leaf might enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of hypoglycemic drugs.
A small clinical study in patients with type 1 diabetes shows that consuming a tea made from fig leaves modestly reduces postprandial glucose levels and insulin requirements.
Insulin
Fig leaf may enhance the blood glucose lowering effects of insulin.
A small clinical study in patients with type 1 diabetes shows that consuming a tea made from fig leaves modestly reduces postprandial glucose levels and insulin requirements.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, fig might increase the risk of photosensitivity when used in combination with photosensitizing drugs.
Many cases of photodermatitis from fig leaf have been reported. Some drugs that also cause photosensitivity include amitriptyline (Elavil), quinolones (Ciprofloxacin, others), sulfa drugs (Septra, Bactrim, others), and tetracycline.
Silver Birch
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, birch might interfere with diuretic therapy.
