Would Taking Chasteberry Or Vitex Cause Anxiety?

Hi Dr Grief. i am experiencing anxiety of late and wonder if chasteberry or vitex could be the cause. I have taken Vitex before as a component for a herbal hormonal remedy. It has only come back this week. i also have a mirena which was inserted 3yrs ago to help heavy periods. I no longer get periods. my question is should i go off these tablets and see if it stops? This is not easy feeling and coping with these symptons of heart racing and feeling unwell. Also can it be taken with B12? Just want to feel normal again.
