In reply to taking ginkgo with emsam - a bad idea???, posted by crabwalk on June 2, 2006, at 9:51:26
I think the main interaction is just blood pressure stuff. Gingko biloba thins the blood and can lower blood pressure, which MAOIs can do as well. However, I think that with EMSAM, the hypotensive effects are not considered very significant. I might stop gingko intake before EMSAM and then start it again cautiously while also checking blood pressure. But I would check with a pharmacist.
