Can I take St John's wort and Zoloft at the same time?

In: Herbal Medicine, Drug Interactions, Antidepressants [Edit categories]

Answer:

In answer to CAN you take them both at the same time: yes. SHOULD you take them both at the same time: no. Both are depression treatments and even though St John's Wort is a herbal medicine rather than a drug, it could exacerbate the effect of the Zoloft. Talk to your medical practitioner first before contemplating this.
