Siberian Ginseng + St Johns Wort is safe?

Posted by Meri-Tuuli on March 17, 2006, at 8:12:20

Is this combo safe to take together??

I'm on the SJW but would like to add in the Sib Ginseng.

I tried taking it alittle while back, but er, I got shingles so I don't think/know if the two are linked somehow.....

any thoughts??

I'm not exactly sure how safe it is.....

However, a couple of years ago I took that exact combination for about 8 months. No bad effects that I know of, as in seriously bad side effects. All in all it did work quite well.

One thing in particular you should do though, I think about every 6-8 weeks its recommended that you have a 2 week break from the ginseng.

Also, I found Siberian ginseng to work better than Korean and the other types.

Your sex drive should improve too. :-)

Hey Meri

I combined Rhodiola Rosea with Marplan (ireversable MAOI) and lived to tell the tale!
So I think you should be OK

The only possible danger might be that they share some MAOI activity, you could always check your BP if your worried.
