My brother is on prozac for about a year. Recently he heard that St Johns Wort can be very effective cure for anxiety. He would like to try it but he doesn’t know can he use St Johns Wort while he is on prozac. Is it Ok to mix St Johns Wort and prozac for anxiety?

Saint John's Wort has long been used to treat nervous conditions including anxiety, depression and many other psychiatric disorders. But it’s not clever to mix it with any other antidepressants. It’s better for your brother to stop to take Prozac first and then start to use Saint John's Wort. But he needs to consult with his doctor before that.
