>Thanks for the initial post about Saffron, too. Let me know how you make out as well.
You're welcome, and I will.
I looked into what side effects may occur with saffron. It seems that minor side effects are common but serious reactions are rare. Headaches, nausea and reduced appetite were reported frequently with a similar incidence to SSRIs. Increased appetite was reported less commonly. Sexual dysfunction was only a problem with SSRIs, not saffron. As with SSRIs, some pts seemed to have an initial increase in anxiety at the start of saffron treatment. Anxiety was then reduced after a few weeks. It appears than saffron may reduce blood pressure.
