A member asked:
Can you take inositol and l-theanine with and ssri? is there a risk of serotonin syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: L-theanine raise dopamine and gaba in the brain not serotonin. Taking Zoloft and Lexapro (escitalopram) together can cause serotonin syndrome. I see you are taking Zoloft and Lexapro (escitalopram) together. Consult to your prescriber if you are taking these two medications i mean Zoloft and Lexapro (escitalopram) together.
