Caution:

Several supplements in the stress/mood category have potentially serious contraindications, especially if you take medications that affect the brain and brain chemicals. Here are a few of the considerations to highlight (it is NOT a conclusive list). Check with your healthcare provider before trying any supplements, especially if you have a medical condition or take medications.

• SAM-e and 5-HTP: These have potential interactions with antidepressants and other serotonergic medications. SAM-e warrants additional caution for people with bipolar disorder.
• St. John's Wort: Has many medication-interaction concerns, including interactions with birth-control medications. It also can lead to photosensitivity.
• Kava and Kava-containing products: See full label warnings concerning rare, but severe liver injury, alcohol, sedatives, and driving or operating machinery.

• Ashwagandha: Not with pregnancy. Seek professional advice if you have thyroid, autoimmune, or liver conditions or relevant medication use.
