Arthritis Information -Question about Ginseng

Share
 

I don't know much about ginseng, but thought maybe I'd take some to see if it would increase my energy level. 

 
I'm taking mtx, sulfasalazine, plaquenil, celebrex and flexeril regularly and oxycocet and fentanyl when needed.  Does anyone know if it would be a bad idea to add ginseng to the mix?

I'd ask your doc or pharmacist just to be safe, but from what I've read ginseng is primarily an interaction risk for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiac problems, who are on blood thinners (even aspirin).  Dosage/quantity is also probably an important factor.
