Really? How much SJW did you take? I was taking 37.5 mg. of Effexor with 300 mg. of SJW with no problems. Larry Hoover on the Altnernative Board was quoting Dr. Healy who advises using SJW for this purpose. But I guess better safe than sorry. Try to get Prozac.

The reason I am so cautions is because the symptoms of serotonin syndrome might mimic symptoms of withdrawl.
Serotonin snydrome can cause severe anxity diarea, flu like symptoms, shivering etc.
One difference is that serotonin snydrome is
potentially fatal and effexor withdrawl is not.If you are going to try adding SJW, get a list of serotonin snydrome symptoms and be cautious.
