Does “Moringa” interact with Lexapro?

I am taking moringa to ease my depression. I never took it before starting taking Lexapro, so I cannot decide whether the symptoms are usual or not. I used to drink two cups of moringa daily in the form of tea bags. According to my little experience with Lexapro and several herbs, There is sometimes interaction between Lexapro and some types of herbs. I think the scientists are more concerned with the interaction between medications rather than between medications and herbs. This is why there is little information about the interaction between medications and herbs. I used to consume moringa maybe five days ago but I still feel terrible!

@aliali Not knowing how much moringa is in two cups of tea, everything i found says 6mg is probably too much. Have you considered the idea that since you were not feeling like this before taking the moringa, that you can experiment and stop taking the tea, to see what will happen in a week or 10 days? It certainly is worth a try, to see if the symptoms go away. If the only medication you are on is Lexapro, I would check with your doctor.

Hi, @aliali - glad you connected with @gingerw on this topic of moringa and its interaction with escitalopram (Lexapro). Perhaps this might also be a good question for your doctor who prescribed escitalopram (Lexapro) or your pharmacist?
