I need to try something as I cannot get a hold of vivarint right now (gone and only avialable in france). I need something to add to this paxil for my severe atypical vitamintosis induced depression.
Is it safe or any interactions I should know?

There are documented cases of extreme sedation caused from mixing paxil and sjw.
I have tried sjw at various times in combination with zoloft, paxil, prozac. The zoloft was ok, the prozac was great but the good sjw effects pooped out quickly. The time I tried it with just 10mg paxil and 300mg sjw was intensely sedating, totally unlike the other ssri's I tried it with. I was so sleepy that in the middle of the day I had to pull off the road several times in a short 40 mile trip just to rest my eyes and take a catnap. It was pretty bad.
Serotonin syndrome is a risk as well, so if you try it, start with extremely low doses to catch any adverse events early. Stick with proven brands in pill form, such as Kira or Perika, so that you can cut them into quarters or halves to start with.
Based on just my own personal experimentations, I would have no problem mixing sjw with other antidepressants, but I would never mix it with paxil.
