Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 I would suggest you find a competent expert on natural remedies like the ones you are taking, perhaps a naturopath? A nutritionist might also be able to assist you in figuring out how Paxil reacts with those other items. Be careful with Paxil, you can get have withdrawal symptoms if you go off it. Take care, Connie Message: 23 Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 05:38:11 -0000 Subject: Supplements & Antidepressant Interactions?? I was given samples of Paxil from my family doctor. I gave him a list of all medications I'm on, and he said all were fine to take with Paxil. However, I mentioned I also take a variety of vitamin supplements, as well as Borage oil, flaxseed oil, multi-enzymes for digestion, and lysine. The doctor said he couldn't comment on these " natural/herbal " supplements. He basically said I would take them at my own risk. My question, then, is this: Are there any folks out there taking any of the above supplements along with an antidepressant? Does anyone know if such supplements are safe to take with Paxil? Thanks.
