I think you need to give more time for the hormone therapy to be effective. You won’t find a definite answer as you saw when you searched and the reason is that very little research has been done to find out how herbs affect the drugs one takes. They know now the St.John’s Wart is dangerous, they know of other herbs that might prevent the medication one takes to be effective, so I advise you to wait awhile. Let the HRT therapy first work for you, I would advise you to wait even a few month, maybe go back to your doctor and complain that the HRT does not work (but after you waited as I said) and see what he or she have to say. Don’t mix anything you are not sure about.
