Safety Warning for people on Rapamycin / Sirolimus / Rapamune

Chrysanthemum, Dandelion, Bishop's Weed, and/or Liquoirce, even if blended with other tea ingredients, can interact with the medications, including stopping absorption & be potentially dangerous. Please be careful.

For me personally, chrysanthemum tea blocked the efficacy of my latest dose of rapamycin. I'm really hoping that's all that it did.

Medication Interaction Warning Edit:

Liquorice, Dandelion, Bishop’s Weed and Chrysanthemum can impact efficacy and safety of a LOT more medications.

The liver impact they have is because of the same CYP3A4 interaction is the GRAPEFRUIT WARNING. Not medical advice, but if you’ve been warned by a prescriber, pharmacist, or bottle not to have grapefruit (pomelo, bitter orange, certain other fruits), maybe don’t have those herbs until you talk to someone knowledgable.

@NyxMir oh i didn't know that about chrysanthemum!
@NyxMir GINGER!?!?!?

@ldottxt Check the absorption windows of your meds and you might be able to stagger?

Sirolimus 2x/week only needs 1 hour each dose. I think this means hypothetically I could take chrysanthemum on other days, but buspirone is also CYp3A4 and a 2x every day med so it's not reasonable for me to do that in actuality.
