need advice pls, Larry-combined ginseng and prozac

Posted by alesta on August 29, 2004, at 21:06:42

hi, lar :),

i stopped taking prozac 4 1/2 days ago, and have been feeling better and better each day, thank god! today i drank some "high energy chai tea" (laci le beau brand), which i haven't consumed in quite a while. i'm wondering if this is okay to drink while i'm still withdrawing from the prozac. my head felt tingly tonight and i had this weird feeling like i was almost "tripping" (yes, i took lsd once.) i mean, not quite, but things just almost had this "other-worldly" feel to them. i might be just noticing this stuff more because i'm *looking* for interactions, as i haven't really just sat still and "been with my thoughts" until tonight. but could you please tell me if it's okay to take the two together? i'm really fearful with combining stuff so i could just be paranoid here. thanks for reading this, and for your valuable time... :):)

take care,
amy :)

I can't think of a possible adverse interaction. Prozac has a long half-life, so you are still under its influence, but there's nothing in chai tea or ginseng that would give me any concern.

Take care of you,
Lar

 

thank you, lar!:) (nm)
