A member asked:
Which herbs can increase serotonin too much while taking 10mg of celexa (citalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mechanisms: Most herbs haven't been tested with antidepressants like celexa, (citalopram) so it's hard to make generalizations. St. John's wort would be an herb of concern, though, because its mechanism of action may include serotonin effects as well as other neurotransmitters. http://tinyurl.com/manjuw4 some chinese herbals may have similar effects http://tinyurl.Com/mzsrsgy kava and cannabis may cause issues too.
