Chamomile tea and Citalopram

[loopylu86]

This may sound silly but can you drink this tea and not have any effects because I am on Cit. The reason I ask is at 17 I was taking St John's wort and had to take Levonelle due to a mishap...(I was with him for 5 years lol) I rememeber having the worst experience of my life. I now know that these too are NOT to be mixed. So I just wanted to make sure that AD can be mixed with herbal tea?

I drink chamomile tea all the time. It won't affect any other medications you are taking. :)

The only drug that interacts with chamomile is verteporfin (for eye conditions) and it is only moderate interaction

Same, I have a cup of it beside me right now actually. :) chamomile tea and cit seem to be fine together.

[Annie0904]

It is very good...takes a while to get used to the taste, I din't like it at first but do now :)

[loopylu86]

Can you describe the effetcs please?:)

[little scientist]

Yes the taste is very different, you can sweeten it with some honey or sugar if you wish :)

[Annie0904]

It just has a mild calming effect :)

I found the taste very pleasant indeed and it definitely takes the edge off.

Pleased you like it! I bought the Lindon Method a few years ago and he suggested drinking about 4 cups each day.

I drink it before bed to help me sleep. If I get to bed within 20 minutes of drinking a cup I find i get to sleep easier. :)
