Herbs and Antideppresants together

Hi. I suffer from Panic attacks with depression. I am taking Zoloft 150mg and it has truely helped! I haven't been depressed nor have I had a panic attack. I'm truely loving life again. My question to you is... Would taking an herb susbstance containing ginko biloba and siberian ginseng be harmful or affect my meds? I wouldn't want to do anything to mess with them. I wanted to take a energy booster/weightloss supplement that is ephidrine free but contains the two above.
Thank you,
Robin

There is nothing reported suggesting this would be a problem. Monitor it carefully just in case.

ooo- ofcourse you'll have to wait for the reply from the doc. But no matter what he says, I personally wouldn't risk it.
