I had been wondering about this issue for a while, and while ordering some fish oil found a web site that has a place where you can look up interactions. They also have a "conditions" section that indicates supplements that may help or hurt in a particular condition.
The site is www.iherb.com/health.html. Click on The Natural Pharmacy, and then you can click on Conditions to get to depression, and other mental and non-mental conditions. For conditions, they give alternative treatments, supplements, and things that might not be helpful. There are links to articles and other sites with more info.
If you click on Drug Interactions (from the Natural Pharmacy link), and your drug is listed, (like Prozac) it gives you information on what supplements can help and hurt when taking the drug. Unfortunately, Wellbutrin was not listed. There is an entry for SSRIs as well as individual SSRIs, plus a ton of other meds.
The Natural Pharmacy link takes you to a different site than iherb.
Thought this info might be of interest to some.
BTW, I thought their prices on Omega 3's were good, too.

Thank you, Shar.
i am among those interested.
Have been updating/honing my knowledge about vit.s min.s aminos and other suppliments... and been fascinated learning about brain meds. If you hadn't offered up this more-than-decent site find for looking up interactions and crossref'ing condition treatments, i was going to come out of lurk mode here and ask...
Your find is a good one. Thanks for sharing it.
Have been using www.drugdigest.org/DD/interaction/choosedrugs
~seen it?And too bad about Wellbutrin's absence from list, i agree. Oversight? Or is there something uniquely secret about it? ;)

I will go to drug digest, and check them out. I go to so many places when I do research it's hard to remember the sites by name. Thanks for sharing!
