This can cause adverse drug reactions such as serotonin syndrome, various organ toxicity, and even death in some instances. Common examples: Elavil, Endep, Tofranil, Praminil, Anafranil, Celexa, Lexapro, Cipralex, Paxil, Seroxat, Prozac, Sarafem, Effexor, Effexor XR, Desyrel, Oleptro, Serzone, Buspar, Remeron, Zispin, Seroquel, Abilify, Geodon, Latuda, Clozaril, Erythromycin, Clarithromycin, Telithromycin, Rifampin (Rifampicin), and Rifabutin. “Clinical Assessment of the Drug Interaction Potential of the Psychotropic Natural Product Kratom.” Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, March 2023. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpt.2891.KRATOM IN THE HEADLINES
