This might be a very bad combination. Combining prescription SSRI's with SJW can lead to serotonin syndrome (which will cause insomnia, agiation, extreme anxiety, temperature irregularities etc.) Not to be a pest, but this combination is extremmely ill advised. If you're not sleeping I would up the trazedone.
I had serotonin syndrome on SJW alone, was life threatening.Best of Luck

In reply to what were your symptoms of ser syndrome? (nm), posted by joebob on December 25, 2003, at 14:17:50
It started with abrupt waking up in the middle of the night. Then I had extremey body temperature swings, boiling, freezing etc. Extreme cycling anxiety (5 minautes anxiety 1 minaute of calm) repeating for hours, literally like clockwork.
Increased sweating, persistant erection, increased heartrate, diareah (on the toilate all night) flu like symptoms etc.Quite definately the worst experence of my life. There was a strong psychological component to the experience as well.
