30mg magnolia bark interactions (klonopin etc)

[littlesmg88]

I am 28 and prescribed 60mg cymbalta, 1mg klonopin, and 20xr and 10ir adderall for depression, panic attacks and add. I've been on all these meds for over a decade.
I often have trouble turning off my brain to sleep. I've tried everything from L-theanine, melatonin, L-tryptophan etc.
I heard 30mg of magnolia bark extract would work and not make me drowsy the next day.
I read that you are not to take magnolia bark while on benzos - but do you think it would be safe to try for me being as they are such low doses and as long as I don't take them at the same time (ex: 6-8 hours apart)
I really want to try the magnolia I bought but scared I'll die in my sleep or something lol.
Thank you!

can't you stop the aderall and see if you sleep better?

Magnolia bark extract contains magnolol and honokiol which act as mild GABA-A positive modulators. So they function in a similar fashion to benzodiazepines.

It shouldn't be too risky to try taking it, certainly it's not going to kill you... worst case you may have stronger sedation than expected.
