A member asked:

I am taking sertraline for depression.can i take ginseng tablets along?....i feel fatigued all day and i have high blood pressure.

Yes: Ginseng and sertraline are ok together, however using ginseng regularly can actually increase blood pressure, so i would only use it on an as needed, short-term schedule.
