In reply to My info says St. John's Wort = MAOI mimic, posted by shar on November 9, 2000, at 11:24:34
> I've read that St. John's Wort (hypericum) works in ways similar to an MAOI and may have some of the same interactions as an MAOI and other meds and some of the eating restrictions may apply if you take SJW.
