can you take it with SSRI anti depressants ?

I have been taking it and I am on anti depressants. Haven't noticed any help with weight loss, so not sure it is a good investment.

Found this on the web. """Because Garcinia Cambogia increases levels of Serotonin in the brain. SSRI antidepressants do the same thing, so you could potentially run into a serious health condition called Serotonin Syndrome. It's not a good idea. If you're on a non-SSRI though, you might be able to take them both together without any problems. You should always consult your doctor."""

I have to take 2 at a time to get any noticeable relief from Anxiety. I weight about 145 pounds so two takes the edge off as good as the Rx anxiety med I was prescribed. Depending on your weight you could probably up that dose.

I haven't tried any medication in it. I bet it would be great though! Hope you feel better quick.

I have. I recommend following the correct dosage, drink lots of water, and see how your body tolerates both. It may be better to take them at separate times in the day, like I do. I hope this answers your question.

I take two before bed. Everyone is different so try 2 a day and adjust to what works best for you.

My Dr. put me on 2 per day. I take one with my breakfast and one with my lunch or dinner. I have no problem taking it this way with my other pills. They are so easy to swallow also.

You can always open the capsules but I would ask my doctor before I do it. Even tho I know you can

Anyone can take it. Males and females. But always check with your doctor before.

No, I take it when I wake up and it really helps with my stressful day. I actually think I sleep better at night because my mind isn't wondering.

Hi Nik, I have been taking this for a long time and also take a B complex separately...they work very well together. I hope this helps...

I probably wouldn't recommend it. This is very strong, well for me it was. I took one and felt "high". I was not happy. I was hoping to use it for my anxiety, it just made it worse though by the "high" I was not expecting. I know that they make tea and stuff out of it, maybe if you don't like the pill form you can make the tea :)

You can take it as long as needed until symptoms are gone. And then take it regularly to keep balance if you are always a little off. Or take whenever you have symptoms come back.

Research shows that when HTP was added to Prozac, it increased its effectiveness in massive amounts. 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades as a natural antidepressant. That being said, NEVER combine multiple agents that act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors without professional opinion of your physician or naturopathic expert. Also, your "major put off", I would suggest taking a look at the book, The Mood Cure, which will provide a questionnaire so you can identify which brain chemicals you need assistance in, as serotonin may not be the only one (which HTP affects). Hope this helps.

That's what is recommended. However, I have taken it with food on my stomach without any problems.

Yes, but in lower dosis . It is not used for depression but to prevent congenital disorders in the pregnancy. Is the active form of folate.

I don't know. I took all of mine. I know the expiration date was not any time soon. Even if it was you can still take expired medication within reason of course. I take these several times a day, so I would run out before they expire.
