St johns wort has MAO properties which helps depression via a different route than effexor. I would definately stop the St johns wort as it can interact with prescription ADs and cause a condition called serotonin syndrome. A pharmacist will know about this.
If you experience strange syptoms like sudden extreme anxiety, changes in body temperature, and other flu like symptoms, it may be serious.
You must be very careful when combining SSRIS/SNRIS with St Johns Wort.
Good Luck
