Medicines and supplements

Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine on your own. Several supplements on this site (5-HTP, L-tryptophan, SAMe and St. John's wort) can interact dangerously with antidepressants, and calming herbs can add to the effect of sedatives and alcohol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every supplement you take, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition, or are planning surgery.
