I personally had absolutely no problem with combining Celexa and Ginkgo. Infact, the gingko seemed to make the depression even worse. From what I understand, ginkgo is a serotonin reputake acellerator.
Perhaps there is some other reason serotonin syndrome happened for Prozac. Prozac is the least clean of the SSRIs. It has effects on MAOa/b perhaps this had something to do with it.
You may want to take caution if you are going to combine it with Celexa, but personally it was very little help at all. I used Ginkoba as directed for two months and was still foggy. I found much better sucess with Folic acid, Fish Oil and coffee, all of which don't interact (in my experience).

thouse are the 3 I use regularly, plus nicotine. I was just currious about other SSRIs.
