Ginkgo as an AD - (for young people)?? Anybody?

Posted by Meri-Tuuli on April 18, 2006, at 8:21:10

Okay, so what is the consenus on ginkgo with regards to its AD properties? I mean for young people. I understand that it stops some of the age related degeneration of 5-ht1a receptors (or something like that) but what about its effects for non-old people?

Does it activate 5-ht1a receptors in general? And, does it do anything else? Wouldn't this increase risk of Sertonin sydrome when combined with SSRIs, but then why are there clinical studies with ginkgo + SSRIs?

What about combining it with SJW?

How long should a trial be involving ginkgo as an AD?? Some places I read 12 weeks.

Is it any good for anxiety?

Kind regards

Meri
