Diana,
Take a look at this site: http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs .
I often use this site when i need interaction info.
In regards to the Warfarin / Olanzapine interactions desribed below, they do have some information. The info is based on available research and case studies.
It's not perfect, but it seems pretty legit.
Hope that helps.
Rod

Hi,
I`m sorry about it. I just checked now and you are right. It doesn`t list the known interactions. What can I say?! It`s the only site I found but there should be some others that are stating the correct information.

I would be very cautious with that site. I tested it by putting in Hypericum together with Sertraline (Zoloft), and then Hypericum with Citalopram (Celexa) and Hypericum with Fluoxetine (Prozac).
All three times it came up with No known Interaction. All of these are SSRI antidepressant drugs, and from what I have read in a lot of places on the net, it can be dangerous to take these with SJW as it could lead to seratonin syndrome.
Here is a site of interest that lists the above caution as well as some Q&A and general info:

Serenity --
After reading your caution, I went back to the site and checked on interactions with warfarin (a blood thinner) and olanzapine (an antipsychotic), both of which have had documented interactions with sjw, and was given a message that there were no known interactions for those either.

Great to know this. SJW is listed as a search option under its botanical name, hypericum. Thanks for the site.
