I don't think SJW has enough MAO inhibition for it to be relevant or noticable. Lots of things cause slight MAOI inhibition, including this coffee i'm drinking.
Did you try high-dose SJW? Or run into problems (side effects, cost)? I think the dosages on some herbal treatments are far too low for people with severe illness.
The general reason docs and researchers are scared of doapmine is that it is the chemical most associated with addiction. No doc wants to get their patient hooked on something.
As for side effects, i've not taken buprenorphine, but Parnate has been very mild for side effects, at least after the first few weeks. Much less than ssris i was on.
