Can you take NYC & R-ALA with an SSRI?

[dp774]

Anybody know if the yohimbine or the ala will interact with various different SSRI's (Paxil, Celexa, etc..)? Just wondering because I am taking these right now and wanted to know if I should'nt be. Thanks a lot!!

There shouldn't be any adverse reactions between r-ALA and an SSRI. Don't know about the NYC, though.

the yohimbine hcl in NYC might have an adverse interaction with an SSRI, since yohimbine is a weak MAO, so check with your doctor first.

Do you know where I can find more information about this, I asked a doctor, he had no clue about Yohimbine being a MAOI, the exact thing I can't take with an SSRI, I am worried to keep on taking the NYC now, I did a search on the internet and at anabolic fitness and could not find any interactions. Thanks!! btw:
If it does interact, what else can I take to curb my appetite, I like how NYC does this, but I can't take ephedra based products, maybe try one of those non ephedra based items they sell now? Your opinions please. Thanks!

here is one link, click on "yohimbe" in the list. the warning says:

"Do NOT use alcohol in combination with yohimbe or anything related to yohimbe. The active ingredients in yohimbe are MAO inhibitors and combining them with alcohol can be dangerous."

and another one, which specifically warns against using yohimbine and ssri's:

"DO NOT TAKE YOHIMBINE if you are also taking a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or venlafaxine"

yohimbine is a weak short term maoI

Yohimbine was sometimes prescribed to fight the difficulty to ejaculate when on prozac. But I don't know about paxil, celexa...
