Does The Intake Of Aderall With A Pill Of St.john S Wort Cause Threatening Drug Interaction?
I took 10 mg of adderall after taking one 300 mg pill of St. John s Wort earlier in the day. I read afterwards somewhere that combining these two drugs can cause a potentially life threatening drug interaction. I feel fine so I m hoping that only the case when the two are taken in higher doses. Should I be worried?
Thank you for asking! You have heard right. It is because both do the same thing. dextroamphetamine and st john's wort both increase serotonin levels. Potential for dangerous interaction is there.And that is it is recommended to Use with caution and monitor closely. Better to avoid combined use. Take care
