In reply to Feverfew - what does it do and who is it used for?, posted by Meri-Tuuli on October 31, 2005, at 5:44:24
Feverfew is usually used for migrane.
It's anti-migrane activity stems from its anti-inflamitory action, and its serotonin blocking properties.
It blocks 5-ht2a receptors like the tricyclics and atypical antipsychotics. It has antianxiety properties and mild antidepressant properties.
I found that it could augment SSRI's in a similar manner to taking an atypical antipsychotic.
