Can i take saffron extract while on lexapro (escitalopram)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could, but why?: Saffron has known antidepressant effects which are close to those of Imipramine & prozac: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/17174460?Dopt=abstract my question is whether you want to use saffron for this, or for another reason? The trials only lasted 22-26 weeks -- longer use or higher doses might not be safe. Saffron poisoning can result in jaundice, vomiting, vertigo, bloody diarrhea, etc.
