Hi guys. Wasn't sure where to post this so thought i would add it to this section.
Was looking through a few of the supplements i have played around with and i came across this interaction.....
I take an SSRI. I always knew to stay away from 5-htp/tyroptophan but i wasn't aware that.. St John's wort was also a major interaction? I have St John's wort at home but very rarely have tried it.
But the biggest concern for me was... Lithium (Lithium Orotate) this has been shown to have a major interaction with an SSRI and can cause serotonin syndrome. I have been taking both daily for the last 2 weeks :/ I suppose i should have checked before hand but even looking through both the Lithium Packaging and the SSRI box it doesn't state what you should avoid when you are taking an SSRI.
Is serotonin syndrome un-common? Would you show signs before anything major became apparent?
Thanks
