HERBAL MEDICINES OR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND SSRIS - AYAHUASCA

A man taking fluoxetine experienced symptoms of the serotonin syndrome after ingesting the psychoactive beverage ayahuasca (also known as caapi, daime, hoasca, natema, yage), which is characteristically derived from the vine Banisteriopsis caapi.
This appears to be the only report of an interaction. However as ayahuasca contains monoamine oxidase-inhibiting harmala alkaloids concurrent use may potentially cause serotonin syndrome.
