Oh I know they dont work when he does that we have that conversation a million times, Tablets say they are pure vegetable so I dont imagine they will have a bad reaction with Fluoxitine like I said CANNOT be any worse than mixing with all the other crap hes taken over the years. At this point Im happy hes willing to give it a go. Only time will tell I suppose

But until he starts taking his anti d's correctly he can't say whether they are helping or not. Sorry, I don't understand why you'd be trying to add things in when you don't know if these help? Also... St Johns Wort is natural and can have serious interactions with anti d's, so really do check with a pharmacist.

30 seconds to double check with the pharmacist is surely worth just making sure?
-
With anti-depressants you know what you're getting and the various interactions which may occur with herbal remedies often you're not sure of the strength or how they interact with one another, typically St. John's Wort (hypericum) interacts strongly with other anti-depressants so great care is needed.

If you're thinking of trying turmeric it's worth noting that it can increase the effect of antidepressants, especially taken as golden paste.
-
You cant possibly know if anything will work unless you try it. With all that hes put in his body over the years a vegetable capsule doesnt worry me like when he takes cocaine, has a few beers or stops taking his meds altogether. Yes I will have a chat with a pharmacist and I might possibly pop into the local doctors and have a word.

Thank you! I know you probably are a bit fed up of us suggesting talking to someone as you're totally right, it doesn't seem like it can be an issue - esp with what else he's done.... But if he's going to take the meds properly it might help to make sure you're not changing too many things at once itms? My husband found omega 3 6+9 helpful, but again we double checked it with the doctor because it can change the way that your body takes up the meds...
