Sertraline and St. John's Wort Interaction Concerns
Sertraline helps with depression and anxiety. St. John's Wort is an herb that doesn't mix well with sertraline. Together, they could cause serotonin syndrome - symptoms like confusion, fast heartbeat, and high blood pressure. It's better to wait 2 weeks after stopping St. John's Wort before starting sertraline. This prevents any issues from occurring.
