St John's Wort,

[firsttimefarmer]

I've been reading this herbal remedies book and it says that taking St John's Wort can intenseify the effects of other drugs,
Does anyone know if this is true?

(for those who don't know St John's Wort is a herbal remedy for mild deppression)

PS: IM POSTING THIS THREAD IN THE LOUNGE COS THERE IS NO HERBAL REMEDY SECTION< MAYBE IT SHOULD GO IN HEALTH BUT MORE PEOPLE WILL SEE IT HERE^

i read a little bit about it and this is what i found out.

It has been made a prescription-only drug in the Irish Republic because of anxieties about its possible similarity to MAOI antidepressants.)

St Johnâ??s Wort may prolong the effects of some sleeping pills and anaesthetics.
