Interactions & contraindications

Rhodiola (Golden Root)

Full profile
  • CNS medications (benzodiazepines, SSRIs, MAOIs) — may potentiate sedative or serotonergic effects

Pregnancy

Avoid

Insufficient safety data in pregnancy — as a hormone- and stress-axis-modulating adaptogen, it's generally avoided given the lack of research.

Breastfeeding

Avoid

Insufficient safety data during breastfeeding; generally avoided given the lack of research on infant exposure.

Children

Avoid

Not studied in children and generally avoided — stimulant-adjacent adaptogens are not typically used in pediatric herbal practice.

Antidepressants (especially MAOIs)

Theoretical risk of serotonergic interaction.
