Can Ashwagandha Be Taken With Prozac For Treatment Of Anxiety?
I take 40 mg of prozac a day for anxiety and depression I want to know would ashwagandha and or radio s herbal supplements have a added benefit for me to help with my high stress levels or would I have a drug interaction s with my daily prozac prescription use?
Ashwagandh (withania somnifera) is an Ayurvedic medication claimed to be effective in the treatment of anxiety, however there is no scientific done to prove its safety and efficacy in reducing the stress associated with anxiety.
Further, Ashwagandha may reduce the absorption of Prozac if taken together.
If at all you wish to take Ashwagandha you may take it after 4 hours following the intake of Prozac after consulting your treating doctor.
Hope this answers your query.
