Both
SSRIs and St. John’s Wort, the primary Natural Reuptake Inhibitor
formulated into Clarocet, may cause drowsiness or sedation. The risk
of experiencing this type of interaction may be more severe when
an SSRI is concomitantly used with St. John’s Wort. In addition,
two (2) case studies have been recorded regarding the possibility
of Serotonin Syndrome when high-doses of St. John’s Wort and
a prescription SSRI were combined. If a patient is concurrently taking
an SSRI drug and Clarocet, it is recommended that they are closely
monitored for any significant changes in the way they feel.
