There IS an interaction between lipitor and St John's Wort. St John's Wort can increase the effect of lipitor, including increasing the risk of side effects of lipitor (liver upset, muscle pain).
However, if you REALLY need to take these two together, speak to your pharmacist or doctor. You may be able to take them together DEPENDING on what dose of lipitor you're taking.
Bottom line: stop taking St John's Wort if it's not necessary. If you want something for depression, there are other medications available that won't interact with lipitor.

Can you take st johns wort and not take 5-HTP for good resultsSome articles suggest taking them both. But i would like to only take st johns wort and not 5-HTP. will i see improvements taking it alone?
AnswerOf course you can take St Johns Wort alone, and you will still see some improvements. 5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid and would help to intensify the results of the St Johns, but is not compulsory. Try out the St Johns and see how effective it is. If you do not see any effects - then you may want to add 5-HTP. As with all herbs, results very dramatically from person to person.
