The best person to ask would be a pharmacist.  You don't even have to be a patient of the pharmacy just call and ask :)

No, there are no known interactions between Effexor and Strattera.  If you take the 2 drugs together, you'll get the side effects of each drug, but there won't be any new side effects due to combining the two.  You can check for yourself at this website (it's powered by WebMD, and trusted by medical professionals): \n\nhttp://www.medscape.com/druginfo/druginterchecker\n\nOn another note, I hope you're not a patient who's self-medicating.  It can be very dangerous, so please talk to your doctor if this is the case!!  If you're a researcher or someone in the medical profession, I hope these websites help.

There's nothing wrong with implementing parts from both.  But please do follow the advice of your doctor regarding herbal supplements and such.  Some of them are dangerous when combined with certain medicines.  And I must be honest, if you have serious health problems, "mainstream" medicine will do more to add quality and quantity to your life.  Just make sure you have a good doctor.  It makes all the difference.

If you're talking about herbal pills for arousal and stamina, I've heard they work for some and not for others. Stamina RX for example sells really well. Don't buy an entire bottle till you figure out if it works for you. Don't know how healthy it is, though.

This website will tell you if any drugs interact with one another.  Duradex is not listed.  Is it a generic for something else like duracef?\n\nhttp://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html

For questions dealing with drug interactions with natural supplements you should consult with your doctor and pharmacist.  \n\nGenerally Hoodia is very safe - it is a cactus.  \n\nBut being natural a natural product doesn't eliminate any chance of interaction.  Many natural foods have side effects.  For example, you shouldn't eat brussle spouts just before having an operation, because they act as a blood thinner and will keep the wound from healing properly.

st john's is the herbal alternative, however, if you find an other one, it probably wont work either.  Just get the scrip or try therapy for the time being (it works great)

Please! Please! Please! Consult your family physician and your pharmacist on this one. I am not a health professional, but I am a freelance writer who has done a number of stories on this issue and I have been involved in herbal and homeopathic medicine for years. I am a big believer in the PROPER use of herbal and homeopathic medicine, but too often people believe that just because it's available over the counter it's "okay". Or, alternatively, just because it's "natural" it can't harm you. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Some herbs can do serious damage if taken with certain medications. For example, willow bark can interfere or do serious damage if taken with certain blood thinners. Some of these combinations can even require hospitalization or become toxic. \n\nYour doctor and pharmacist will be able to help you decide what medication and what herbs and homeopathic remedies will be best. However, here is something to remember; not all herbal pills are the same. In other words; when you take one pill it may contain 5 grams of herb A, 10 grams of herb B, and 15 grams of herb C. The next pill from the same bottle may contain 8 grams of herb A, 11 grams of herb B, and 18 grams of herb C. There is no guarantee that you are getting the same amount of medication each time. This means that you are spinning the roulette wheel and hoping the average dose you take over a period of time helps with your particular problem. \n\nThere is also the problem you mention of kidney issues and arthritis. These are serious issues. Please remember that any medication or herb that goes into the body has to be processed by the kidneys. Putting an herb into the body that may be hard on the body may actually put a strain on the one remaining kidney. Also, there are herbs out there that can cause problems for arthritis instead of helping.\n\nAgain, my advice is to consult the family physician or the pharmacist. The pharmacist is especially knowledgeable on this issue and I would consult with him/her first. \n\nThere is just one part of your question that frightens me. The person (homeopathic "doctor") you consulted said that because these remedies are all natural there would be no problems. This is irresponsible and dangerous on their part. Any professional in this field should immediately tell you this is a health issue and, like any health issue, there are concerns to be addressed. Just because something is "natural" does not make it good. Rattlesnake poison is "natural" but I don't think I'd want to down a pint of that.\n\nBefore you go to this homeopathic "doctor" please consult with either your family physician or your pharmacist. They are a wealth of information and are more than willing to assist you in this matter.

You should ask your doc. Mixing herbs and ssri's can be very dangerous. I would be careful of the advice you receive here.

Taking the advice of anyone on the Internet when it comes to medicine interactions is not advisable.  Always check with a pharmacist or your doctor about these matters.  They are highly trained and qualified to help you.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist. There are no bad side effects from this BUT, when taking herbal medicines you must have what is called a 'rest period' from them. I always advise my patients that after every 4 to 6 weeks they must stop them for one week. You should do the same. The only exception is Garlic and Evening Primrose oils, these can be taken all year round. The herb you are taking is usually taken for 'woman's' problems  why don't you try Ginseng instead. It's not a herb I would prescribe for an energy boost.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

Herbal stores usually have that kind of stuff. If they don't have it in stock they can usually order it.  You can order on the net too.
