Yes: Rhodiola rosea can be a very helpful herb, but it can interact with zoloft and other ssri's. It is a potent inhibitor of certain liver enzymes that metabolize zoloft and others. http://tinyurl.com/or7g6gg because of this, there could be a risk of serotonin syndrome. There is also a published report of tachyarrhythmia when rhodiola was taken with lexapro (escitalopram).

Interaction: Agree with Dr. Pappas. You can use an interaction checker when you have questions about drug interactions with herbal or natural medications. Here is one example: http://naturaldatabase.therapeuticresearch.com/nd/search.aspx?s=nd&pt=7
