Mixing Anti-Depressants (St John's Wort) and Marijuana?
21 replies, posted
Hey guys.
Since yesterday I have started taking these OTC anti-depressants, St John's Wort. The recommend dose is 1 pill 3 times a day. I took my first last night, and then two today, one with breakfast and one with lunch. Tonight I'm going out and will most likely be smoking some of the mary jane, and I have heard some bad things about mixing anti deps and cannabis, so I have a question or two.
1. Anyone have any experience with mixing the two?
2. If I skip my night dose and smoke, will there be much of an effect (from the morning + lunch dose)?
I have only been on this for one day so I doubt there will be much of an effect from skipping a dose. I have read some pretty scary stuff about people becoming dependent on St John's Wort, and I am questioning if I should even go ahead with taking them, but that's a whole other story.
Thanks guys!
Don't worry ^^
The effect of the herb is very mild and there is alot of people who only experience placebo when taking it.
You can mix them both without any problems.
I disagree with Stalk. I recommend you skip your dose. The risk of a panic attack is increased when mixing with other drugs.

The function of anti-depressants is to remove or decrease anxiety.
Mix antidepressants with certain Psychedelics, amphetamines, opiates, coke and/or delirants and you may get a panic attack or even serotonin syndrome

Umm...weed isn't a psychedelic, amphetamine, opiate, coke or a delirant...Well, maybe a delirant, but that's it. And hell no, you won't get serotonin syndrome.
Weed is not a deliriant... and yeah, it can be classified as a psychedelic
weed is a mild psychedelic, I don't think you know what a deliriant is.
St. John's Wort isn't that kind of antidepressant, it won't give you panic attacks or serotonin syndrome.

MAOIs mixed with sympathomimetics like amphetamine or MDMA can give a lot more than a panic attack

I never said that weed was a "certain" psychedelic, amphetamine, opiate, coke or a delirant.
It is perfectly safe to mix weed with st john's wort. But it can be fatal if it is mixed with many other drugs.
yes I was talking to firestorm. weed isn't even close to a deliriant

prolly not.
see: benadryl overdose

Do you know what delirium is?
It shouldn't be too hard to make the connection between the two
I dunno. When I posted that, I was fairly stoned. Sorry for any idiotry.
You will be fine.
Cheers guys, I had a fucking great night! Skipped my dose and had a few bowls with a bunch of friends, great fun.
Thanks again for the replies. :keke:

If the OP survived the drug combination, he'd probably be dead of natural causes by now.
