Can I take St john's wort and Fluoxetine together?
Taking St John's Wort with fluoxetine can lead to a very serious and potentially life-threatening condition called 'serotonin syndrome'. This happens when there is too much of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. Symptoms can include feeling very agitated, confused, or shaky. You might also experience sweating, a fast heartbeat, muscle twitches, shivering, or diarrhoea. In severe cases, it can lead to fits (seizures) or loss of consciousness.
