I think herbs are great, but I think you should check with your doc before you start taking them in combination with your AD.
Many combinations like this can have life-threatening side effects (like St. John's Wort plus an SSRI. SJW is actually an MAOI, but it is hard to remember this when it's an herb, not a drug). It's hard to know what chemicals are in herbs, and how much, since they are not regulated by the FDA.
I had more severe side effects from taking SamE than I did from any prescription.
