In reply to Can You Take St Johns Wort With AD's?, posted by Phillipa on March 11, 2005, at 17:48:06
> I've just received my full shipment of Melaleuca products, and am totally impressed with the swiftness of delivery, savings of money, and most importantly the quality of their products, and the fact that they're enviornmentally safe, and nontoxic. All natural containing melaleuca oil. Soaps, lotions, cleaning supplies, supplements, etc. Anyway I've taken the Glucosamine of theirs for about 2 weeks, and my backpain is already better. They have a product that is St John's Wort and other natural ingrediants. Is it safe to take with AD's? Heck if the products continue to deliver like they are I might just get off the AD's and go with the St John's Wort. What do you think? Fondly, Phillipa
Dear Phillipa,
I believe that you can take St. John's Wort with ADs, although it will tell you on the bottle not to without consulting a doctor. However, I have been taking St. John's Wort with Effexor for 3 weeks now with no problems, and I am doing so on my own with no doctor's recommendation. I am weaning myself off of the Effexor little by little, and supplimenting with the St. John's Wort, and so far, it has been very successful.
