SJW is an SSRI so go from there with your research, I'm feeling lazy at the moment

drug-herb interactions !

Results of a small study published in the September 17, 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that taking St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) may diminish the effectiveness of certain drugs. The researchers, pharmacists at the Medical University of South Carolina, set out to learn if taking St. John's wort for long periods of time would alter the activity of enzyme systems called cytochrome P450 (CYP) involved in drug metabolism. They recruited 12 volunteers between the ages of 22 and 38 and gave them two medications, a cough suppressant and an anti-anxiety drug, to establish the baseline activity of two CYP enzymes. Then they had the volunteers stop taking the drugs. After a week, to make sure that the medications were out of their systems, the volunteers took St. John's wort for two weeks. Then they were given the cough medicine and anti-anxiety drug again.

In general, I think you're pretty safe taking most supplements, but you certainly should tell your doctor about anything you're taking regularly.

I smoke and I took St. Johns Wort for about 6 months. I got very positive results from it. It really boosted my mood and I'd rather take that then the Prozac I was on for 3 years. Unfortunately, I can't take St. Johns Wort anymore because of my birth control pill.

Why can't you combine birth control and SJW?
