A member asked:
Is it safe to start antidepressant medicine right the next day of using st. john's wort 900 mg? or should i gradually lower st. john's & then start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your doctor knows?: So, your doctor who is prescribing the antidepressant knows about the St. John's wort and told you to do what? If your doctor does not know, it is not too late to tell him or her. You may be surprised but this is important information to share with your doctor. Your doctor should be able to guide you with regards to how best to stop St. John's wort. Please work with your doctor.
