| |  "Some questions regarding the St John's Wort"
, Wed 28 Dec 11:16
Greetings,
I'm a 24 year-old male, suffering from mild depression and occasional panic attacks. I've started taking St John's wort today; I am taking it together with valerian and passion flower (I read on the internet that this combination of herbs reduced the levels of anxiety significantly). Now, I've been on a high-protein diet for approximately 2 years (weight lifting) and am wondering if there is any fear of experiencing serotonine syndrome because of my diet. I've consulted my therapist and he said that there shouldn't be any problems and I've found that most contemporary studies show that SJW's exhibits mild (if any) MAOi effects, however I'd still like to double check with you guys. Has anyone here had any problems with the serotonine syndrome when combining St John's Wort and certain types of food? What are the chances of my experiencing this dangerous syndrome?
I'm currently not taking any prescribed medication so the possibility of drug interaction is out of the question.
Thank you for all your info and help,
Agathos
