Mary,
Just wondering how you are doing. I haven't had access to the net, so I couldn't write back. I have been taking both zoloft and SJW together for about 5 months now and I think that if something was going to happen it would have done by now, don't you think? It all depends on the potency and quality of the tablets. Mine also has other ingredients which aid in nervous system function eg. ginseng, kelp, B-vitamins, and many more. It is called Elezac, but I think that it is only available here in Australia (yes I'm writing all that way !!) I'm not sure if you can get the brand Blackmores in the US but they make a product called Hyperiforte which would be good quality. Check with someone who is up to date with SJW and can advise you how much to take, eg. my pharmacist recommended it to me and he knows my situation and all meds with I take, as I buy them all from him.
My dosage of Zoloft has dropped from 200mg to 150mg also. I am a Nursing student and am trying to keep up to date with what's happening in the research of these products and others. So if you find anything let me know. Feel free to e-mail me at my address www.alclarke73@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you.
Alison.
