Can i drink beer if im taking st johns wort? the sjw has been helping alot with anxiety/depression and i was gonna go to the bar to clear my mind
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't: St. John's Wort is an OTC. As such one does not know the quantity of quality of the active ingredient. Generally speaking one should not drink when taking antidepressants. The safest course is to not use any mood altering chemicals while taking any form of antidepressant, either prescribed or OTC.
