> In a thread below, Linkadge claims that he got serotonin syndrome from combining SJW with an SSRI. I am taking a very small amount of Effexor now with a very small amount of SJW and I've had no problems at all but I think I'm going to stop the SJW. I'll get a prescription for Prozac to help me finish the withdrawal process. Better safe than sorry!! Please respond and let me know that you both read this. Thanks.

I may have been a bit hasty in sending off the message above but I got scared when I read about Linkadge's problem with serotonin syndrome. Some others on this board (and the alternative board) with a lot of knowledge and background have since weighed in on this issue and all seem to agree that it's safe to combine SJW and Effexor as long as you're taking very small amounts of both as I was doing. That said, I think Linkadge is right that you have to be very careful with it and that Prozac is probably the best way to go. (You also have to be careful of the dosage of Prozac that you're adding.)
