St. John's Wort Interaction w/ SSRI

Posted by Civ on March 22, 2004, at 17:47:05

I have been taking 5 mg of Prozac every other day for the last week to help with Paxil tapering. How soon after I stop taking Prozac can I safely start taking St. John's Wort? Immediately or wait longer because of the long half-life of Prozac?

Civ -- I've always heard 2 weeks from doctors. It might be tempting to start sooner, but you don't wanna have some strange interaction.
