Unfortunately this is not a robust solution. It's a common but subtle error to try to do this. Try 1 + I /. I -> -I. It gives 1+I. The reason is that I does not in fact appear in 1+I anywhere. 1+I is an atomic object with FullForm Complex[1,1]. Note that the problem is not simply that it doesn't contain I, but that it's atomic, so 1+I /. 1 -> -1 also has no effect.
