Does St. John S Wort Interact With Zolpidem?

I am taking 5mg of zolpidem for my recent insomnia. I have been on this for about 20 days. I am trying to get off of this and thought I may have slight depression, although I do not feel like I do, nor do I feel stressed. I thought I would try St. John s wort to see of that may help, but am concerned with possible drug interactions.

St johns does not cause any significant interactions with zolpidem, so you can safely use both the drugs together.
