Can i use the supplement rhodiola with the anti-depressants paxil 40 mgs and effexor 112mgs and the sedative ativan 1mg or will it effect seratonlevel?

Caution w/supplement: Rhodiola is thought to affect serotonin levels, so I would advise against using it when you are already taking 2 medications that act on serotonin (the Effexor and the Paxil).
