Can cause allergy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The nutritional supplements that you are planning to take are safe and can be taken with the anti anxiety medicines that you are taking. It is best to not to start taking all of these at once. Do introduce these one by one so that you can identify any possible allergic reactions to their components.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Glutamine is a precursor to GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid). Glutamine is an all-natural, anti-anxiety supplement that allows the mind to relax. The other amino acids are also not harmful for you. Please do not worry.
