A member asked:

I take 1 mg clonazepam and 1 mg ativan (lorazepam) in the morning for anxiety.today i wantedto try adding rhodiola rosea, are there any interactions with the herb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan) are benzodiazepines, the former broken down by liver enzyme CYP3A4. Some data suggests that Rhodeola rosea impairs the function of such liver enzymes, so for a given dose of clonazepam a person might end up getting a higher blood level as if she had taken a higher dose. Rhodeola could be helpful so best to discuss with the prescribing provider.
