> All I can tell you is that I added Rhodiola to 20mg prozac and was fine with it. Nothing even close to a serotonin syndrome. If it is a MAOI, it is probably nowhere near the potency of a nardil or parnate. I would guess if there is any MAOI activity it is minor compared to drugs. I really don't know. No one really knows what rhodiola does. It was fine with 20mg prozac, that's all I know.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your taking the time to share your experience with me. I was actually able to find something that said it was not an MAOI and that it could be safely combined with an SSRI. Also, I had read that the author of the Rhodiola Revolution - a psychiatrist - does successfully combine it with other ADs. I do tend to err on the side of caution since I have had some bad reactions to medications as simple as cold and cough meds in the past.Thanks again.
