A member asked:
I have been taking st. john's wort 250mg tablets once a day for 6 weeks to lift my mood, not for depression. can i drink alcohol while on them?

I wouldn't recommend: it. Firstly, there is only a little evidence that ANY medication actually improved mild depression (or dysthymia, the medical term), and you are better off with psychotherapy, meditation and (esp!) EXERCISE. Secondly, alcohol itself is a depressant, and may be contributing to your poor mood. I would strongly consider how much alcohol may be part of the problem before you consider continuing use
