In reply to Anyone here ever mixed SJW with and SSRI?, posted by KaraS on January 11, 2005, at 14:57:51

Kara,
I'm hesitant to post anything because reactions differ so much, especially with me. I've mixed SJW with Celexa and it improved antidepressant effect for a few days then wore off. I used Perika. I've always had a problem getting long-term efficacy from SJW. But others have had better results, maybe I needed to increase the dosage. I need to do a longer trial to see if SJW is a good augmenter (is that a word?)
