You can start SJW any time you want. No probs expected combining it with Celexa, especially at your very low dose. I do know a doctor who allows patients to combine SJW with all kinds of antidepressants. The only one he's ever had a problem with is Paxil.Just make sure and get a good brand like Kira, Movana, Nature's Way Perika. Start with one pill per day, and increase dosage every two or three days. Recommended dose is 3 pills a day, but 9 has been clinically used and was safe.
