I would be careful if i were you mixing some medications and natural remedies or foods could be really dangerous. Here in Canada we have a natural health medication help line where you can tell them what medications your taking and then what natural remedy your planning to take, and they tell you if it's a safe combination. For example did you know:

Grapefruit juice increases the effective dose and the side effects of drugs such as calcium channel blockers, benzodiazepines, amiodarone, and Zoloft. So if you like grapefruit juice, work with your doctor to determine the right amount of each of the pills to take.

If you eat foods containing tyramine while taking medications for depression such as MAOIs, your blood pressure could jump and cause you to have a stroke.

Here are some common foods that contain tyramine:

Common fruits that may contain significant levels of tyramine include eggplant, figs, grapes, oranges, pineapples, plums, prunes, and raisins.

All soy products contain high levels of tyramine. Commonly consumed soy products include soy sauce, tofu, miso, and teriyaki sauce.

Most aged cheeses contain tyramine. These include Parmesan, romano, asiago, aged cheddar and other strong-tasting hard cheeses. While there are some, such as cream cheese and cottage cheese, that have little to no notable amounts of tyramine, most aged cheeses have high concentrations of tyramine.


I dont mean to be a pain but if something happens to you and i didnt say anything i would feel really terrible. I do hope you will talk to your doctor or pharmacist before deciding to take natural remidies with your current medications.
