{{ Drugswitch
| from = hypericum
| to = imipramine
| stop =
* Administration of hypericum can be stopped abruptly.
| start =
* '''Day 1-7:''' a wash-out period of one week is necessary.
* * '''Day 8:''' start administration of imipramine in a dosage of 25-50 mg/day.
* If necessary, increase dosage of imipramine to 50-75 mg/day.
* Start low, go slow.
| info =
* Hypericum slows the metabolism of imipramine via CYP3A4. This effect may persist up to two weeks after stopping hypericum, so caution is necessary.}}
