A member asked:

Can i take mucuna pruriens food supplement along with venlafaxine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Velvet bean: This is a powdered prepared from a bean with supposed medicinal properties. Don't spend too much money on it. Especially, if you have Parkinson's, don't neglect evidence-based care just because this bean supposedly contains neurotransmitter precursors. Best wishes.
