Brandon,
I'm not sure if you saw, but there was some mainstream news this week about SJW interacting with other medicines. You may want to check out the Feb. 11 Associated Press article "Studies indicate St. John's wort may interfere with medications." Here's an address for the article at cnn.com:http://cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/alternative/02/11/stjohns.wort.ap/index.html
There's no mention of Dilantin per se, but it's a good idea to be cautious: as much as it's a proven antidepressant, SJW is teeming with active compounds that aren't very well understood yet!
best,
jd
