See answer: You may want to indicate something like "Severe drug interactions: See wallet" and in your wallet list the medication you are on, the need to check for interactions before administering emergency medication, and any specific medication that you might be concerned about.

Question 3

does sensoril have any interaction with my current medications i have listed?

Accepted Answer

Careful: Ashwagandha (in sensoril) can add to the sedating aspects of both Alprazolam and citalopram. For that reason, it's not a good combination.

Question 4

hi. i was wondering whether taking cold medication eith antidepressants would result in bad interaction?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Many cold/cough OTC meds contain dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, which can interact with antidepressants to cause serotonin syndrome. Best to ask pharmacist for advice to avoid dextromethorphan. See: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/serotonin-syndrome/basics/symptoms/con-20028946  I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Question 7

drugs.com says several of my medications have major interactions could they be beneficial even with so many potentially causing seizures?

Accepted Answer

The potential for: a drug combination to cause seizures does  not mean that they will cause seizures.  Other things are factored in - such as your age, if there is pulmonary or renal disease, if there  is pre-existing seizure disorder.  If there is a high risk for a bad drug interaction then it is less likely that most providers would order it. If a particular side effect occurs very rarely - it may be more faborabl

None direct but...: There are no reported direct interactions between cannabis and ADHD medications- see http://tinyurl.com/hxtr8oa
While more research is needed, many with ADHD find  using medical marijuana has a calming effect and can improve concentration- see http://www.leafscience.com/2016/01/22/cannabis-good-adhd/
