>Sue,
Doses were 20mgProzac and 1200mg (300 X 4) SJW. I tried it because Prozac alone was only partially effective. The two together was an improvement, but still not was I was looking for.There have been published reports of an extreme sedation phenomenon that can occur when SJW+Paxil are combined. Not sure why that is. But I can verify it from personal experience. Paxil+SJW, for me, was a two day excursion into the ozone. Talk about a druggy sedated feeling!
