Question: Antidepressants and herbal remedies!?
currently on citalopram for depression and last week took some herbal sleeping tablets (Kalms)!. Do these not work together as i had a bad week this week!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I've been looking and there's no studies about interaction between SSRI's (Citalopram pharmaceutical family) and Valerian, Hops or Gentian (Kalms active ingredients), but there's still a chance that they really interact, so I guess it's best to ask to your physician for a different treatment for your sleep problems!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I took Kalms when I was on anti-depressants with no problems!. May be an idea to talk to the pharmacist though - they are trained in the way different products work together so may be able to give you more of an idea of what the problem might be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I certainly would not have mix the two!. What were you trying to do to yourself!?
I can't even have a small glass of wine, without getting a terrible headache!.
You need not to mess around with anything except water when you are on an antidepressant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually it is not recomended to be on prescription medication and on herb!. Why doing you ask your doctor for a prescription sleeping medication!? That way you would be sure there are no interactions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
