Hi All,
I am on 30mg's of Mirtazapine. I recently switched to a dandelion based coffee substitute. I have been really worried about having an allergic reaction to dandelions (even though there is no reason I should be allergic.) I had a cup of dandelion coffee this morning and I took my pills this evening and I feel really off. I feel short of breath and really strange. I know these are typical anxiety symptoms for me, but I was just curious if anyone knew of an interaction between dandelion and mirtazapine?
I really don't want to stop drinking the dandelion coffee because it's actually a really good substitution for coffee! Logically I would say if I was reacting to the dandelion, I would have shown a reaction a lot sooner, since I drank it about 12 hours ago. And if it was a reaction between my medication and the dandelion, it would have happened sooner. since I took my medication about 5 hours ago.
I tried looking up information on Dr. Google, and I found that dandelion has an interaction warning with lithium, but I saw no mention of any other medication.
