Po Chai Pills + psychiatric medication
Hey folks! For context I am part Chinese, grew up with some Chinese medicine, and definitely believe in herbal medicine as a concept. I had to be taken off estrogen based hormonal birth control after about a decade because it had caused large lesions of the liver. I’d like to dabble in Chinese medicine again, especially for things like hormone issues/ imbalances and digestive issues, but I do take and depend on some psychiatric medicine. There’s at least two I take that I know are non negotiable for my sanity (for reference, aripiprazole/ Abilify and wellbutrin/ bupropion), the rest (adderal extended release and situational anxiety medication propranolol) are more negotiable. I’m going to ask my psychiatrist about potential interactions, but I’m not sure if he’d know the answer, so here I am. I’m down to answer any questions yall have. Thank you in advance!
