Can I take A2X with other medications?

A2X, as a natural dietary supplement, is compatible with most medications. Please consult a physician to ensure there are not prescription contra-indications.

Before taking A2X, talk your doctor if you are taking seizure medications, pain medications, muscle relaxants, other sleep or anxiety medications, or other medications that may cause drowsiness. A2X may increase the sedative effects of these drugs. Do not take A2X if you are currently taking an MAOI or have taken an MAOI within the past two weeks.

Anti-Anxiety Medication
In general, A2X can be safely taken with prescription sedatives, including benzodiazepines such as Xanax® (alprazolam), Valium® (diazepam), and Ativan® (lorazepam). Keep in mind that A2X may increase the effects of sedative medications, although this interaction is not unsafe at recommended doses. If you are taking any type of sedative medication, use caution when driving or operating heavy machinery until you're familiar with the effects of A2X. Some clients report that A2X potentiates anti-anxiety drugs in a positive way and allows them to obtain relief from a lower dose of medication. If you are currently taking prescription medication, we advise that you talk to your doctor before taking A2X or any new supplement.

Anti-Depressant Medication
In general, A2X can be safely combined with prescription SSRI antidepressants, including Celexa® (citalopram), Lexapro® (escitalopram), Luvox® (fluvoxamine), Paxil® (paroxetine), Prozac® (fluoxetine), and Zoloft® (sertraline), as well as non-SSRI reuptake inhibitors such as Effexor® (venlafaxine) and Wellbutrin® (bupropion). A2X should not be combined with MAO inhibitors. If you are currently taking prescription medication, we advise that you talk to your doctor before taking A2X or any new supplement.

Birth Control
A2X will not reduce the effectiveness of birth control or interact with contraceptive medication in any way. You can safely take A2X if you are currently on birth control.

Alcohol
Do not consume alcohol until you are familiar with the effects of A2X. In general, consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol is safe while taking A2X. A2X may increase the sedative effects of alcohol, so avoid drinking large quantities of alcohol while taking A2X.

Other Supplements
Yes, in general, it is safe to take A2X if you are also taking other vitamins or nutritional supplements. Of course, we always recommend talking with your doctor before taking any new supplements.
