Hi Andries,

I did find a few details regarding this interaction, stating that ACE inhibitors (such as Enapco) have been reported to cause increased sensitivity to the sun, amplifying the risk of sunburn or skin rash. Because St. John's wort may also cause this problem, taking this herbal supplement during treatment with ACE inhibitors might add to this risk. It may be a good idea to wear a sunscreen or protective clothing during sun exposure if you take this herb while using an ACE inhibitor.

One other bit of information notes that high blood pressure medication (with ACE) inhibitors should not be taken with St. John's Wort, although it does not explain why.

While St. John's Wort is much better alternative than taking prescription antidepressants, I have to say that dealing with the underlying cause of the depression is the best way to go about changing how you feel in the long run, as opposed to covering up the feeling with medication.

I hope this helps!
