    Is Kava Kava an SSRI?
    Hi~

    I know St. John's Wort is an SSRI so, I don't use it. (SSRI's make me suicidal).
    Wondering about Kava Kava--is it an SSRI? All I've been able to find says not to use it if you're on an Antidepressant which makes me think it is.

    Called the pharmacist and she said it is not an SSRI.
    It's a sedative and hypnotic. :)
