safe to eat guinea pepper/grains of paradise if I take lexapro?

[spice freak]

I take 10mg of lexapro daily. Is it safe to eat food, and drink coffee made with guinea pepper, or grains of paradise? Or will it interact and prevent the SSRI from working?

This is the herb/plant I am writing about.

Has anyone here on bluelight ever cooked with guinea pepper or grains of paradise?

I am moving this to other drugs since you asked about Lexapro.

easiest way to get an answer is to call the pharmacy or your doc to see if there is an interaction
its highly unlikely but it's better to find out for sure
