Specializes in Psychiatry

Lemon Balm: Lemon balm (melissa officinalis) is known to be a calming herb. I could find no interactions between it and nortriptylene. However, it would be important to tell your prescribing physician that you're experiencing enough anxiety to be searching for ways to calm it.
