Greetings
All!
I am currently on a course of
nor-epinephrine reuptake inhibitors
(Reboxetine to be specific) and was
wondering whether concurrent use with
melatonin and/or 5-HTP supplements would
be unwise.
From what I understand the main source of
conflict between melatonin/5-HTP and
anti-depressants is the cumulative effect
on serotonin levels. However I'm uncertain
as to whether there exist any other
concerns (perhaps centred around
nor-epinephrine) or whether NIRs
themselves have an effect on serotonin
levels somewhere down the line.
Also if anybody with any experience using
these supplements has any input I would
appreciate it. Do they have any effect or
is it just the mighty Holland &
Barrett trying to bring about a 'Brave New
World' of placebo based capitalism.
TTFN,
Anubeon.
PS:
I'll probably bring this up with my doctor
at my next appointment but since that may
be a while from now I thought I'd canvas
the fine and learned users of eHealth.
