Does anyone know if it is safe to take SAM-e and Rhodiola, while taking Clindamycin, Quinine, Biaxin, or Plaquenil?

I am currently on a Babs protocol: Clindamycin + Quinine, rotated with Biaxin + Plaquenil.

I am having such bad anxiety and depression I decided I have to finally do something about it. It's unbearable.

Before I try the Effexor my LLMD prescribed, I wanted to try herbals and see if they work.

I didn't know if SAM-e or Rhodiola can have interactions with abx.

I hope this works... If not, I will try the Effexor, but it seems like I would really want to have a psychiatrist helping me through that process. So I'd have to find one I trust...

Thanks for any input!

It should be fine...but just to be sure....call his office and check!

If you see the dr in MO, he should be able to advise you on the Effexor and the other meds.
