A member asked:
Is it safe to mix flaxseed oil and ssri/snri? regarding serotonin syndrome.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe at usual levels: The daily nutritional requirement for L-tryptophan (Trp) is modest (5 mg/kg). ... In rare cases, the "serotonin syndrome" occurs, the result of too much serotonin stimulation when Trp is combined with serotonin drugs. Symptoms include delirium, myoclonus, hyperthermia, and coma. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23077193
