fairnymph --
I haven't read your page on drug interactions thoroughly, but it looks pretty good at a glace. If you would like I can take a closer look, as I did see some errors, particularly in the section on interactions with MAOIs (this is only to be expected, with all the misinformation that has become so widespread about MAOI interactions, but I thought it might be helpful for you to be aware of this).
The exaggerated claims that are often made about drug interactions, particularly (though not exclusively) those involving MAOIs, are a serious problem, not simply a matter of "better safe than sorry." This is because once people realize that *some* of the interactions they've been warned about are nonexistent or inconsequential, they are liable to stop taking *any* of the warnings seriously (and possibly, as a result, to do something that really could cause them harm).
It's good of you to take the time and effort to post this list of drug interactions on the web, and as I said, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
