Mike,
The link you suggested is going to come in very handy. We're always calling our pharmacist about interactions.
Thanks

Thank you! I had found that site and used it, but forgot to bookmark it and couldn't find it again.
It's always best to check with your doc before trying new things, but it's a great resource.

I typed in at least three known drug interactions and it didn't catch it. One for example is zyprexa (or any known antiphycotic) and melatonin. Another was the fentanyl patch and alcohol (duh and yes I had the drug and alcohol box checked). Another was antiphycotics and imitrex(can cause seritonin uptake syndrome). I guess I will rely on my pharmacist and drs.

I checked Zomig and Celexa-got a warning about excess serotonin reaction. Good resource, never a bad idea to get a second opinion.

The only thing i found on zyprexa and melatonin,,was excessive drowsiness,,I have used zyprexa with some relief,,
The link, I used before ,when i was adding herbal suppliments to my regimen while using meds
since herbs arent regulated the dr or pharmisist doesnt know your on them unless you tell them
It is just a guide only...
Always tell your dr and pharmisist about any over the counter substinses you might be trying
or any meds you may have gotten as samples or from a differnt pharmacy
Most (not all) pharmecy's have an interaction checker...
Peace always, mike
