Accutane and St. John's Wort

Posted by agaddy on September 15, 2001, at 11:48:54

Hello,
I am on Accutane and have had mild depression since
starting birth control pills about a year ago. My
sister recommended St.John's Wort as she had great
success with this herb. My mild drepression is not
related to, nor affected by my being on Accutane.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any reason why I
couldn't try the St. John's Wort- ie: if it affects
the liver or kidneys, I wouldn't want to take it till
I finished the Accutane course. I have read a lot about
how good St.John's Wort is for mild depression.
Basically my depression is manifested as a lack of
confidence in myself and less social skills (I find
it hard to act natural with people and it is hard to
make friends).
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
