The use of adaptogens such as Korean ginseng and Rhodiola rosea is not recommended when taking venlafaxine (the active ingredient in Prefaxine). The substances contained in them may increase the effect of antidepressants, and in combination with those that, like venlafaxine, affect the concentration of serotonin in the brain, even contribute to the occurrence of serotonin syndrome. Before the possible use of preparations with adaptogens, please consult your doctor. I enclose a study that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-mozna-laczyc-leki-ze-soba
