Can I take St. John's Wort with Wellbutrin and Buspirone???

By pamela Thursday, May 12, 2011

Does anyone know if you can take St John's Wort with Wellbutrin and Buspirone??

I went to my primary care doctor earlier this week to change dosage of meds I'm taking now but he told me to talk with my counselor.,. and I did.,., but, she told me she's making an appointment for me to talk with psychiatrist which will take weeks!!!  So this is why I'd like to know if anyone on here knows if it's ok to take St John's Wort with the meds I'm taking??  Does St. John's Wort help with depression and anxiety?? Any info will be appreciated..

Hi, Pamela.  I would ask a pharmacist this question, if you can't ask your doctor.  I've heard a lot of warnings about taking St. John's Wort with other antidepressants, as it could have a bad effect.  I wouldn't mess around with it unless I had some input from a professional.  Good luck - sorry you have to wait so long for that appointment.
