The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Lemon Verbena and Amphetamine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Lemon Verbena and Amphetamine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Amphetamine and Lemon Verbena in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Lemon Verbena safety at a glance

Lemon Verbena overall Use caution Generally well tolerated as a tea or food, but concentrated extracts and the essential oil are less studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety has not been established, so avoid medicinal amounts while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Amphetamine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Amphetamine is filed under 6 classifications — including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois), amphetamines, stimulant drugs. Lemon Verbena has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being benzodiazepines (moderate) — and none of Amphetamine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Lemon Verbena Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Amphetamine. It is the side-effect record for Lemon Verbena on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Lemon Verbena, this list is the first place to look.

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Lemon Verbena — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We haven’t matched Amphetamine to its FDA label in our system yet, so we can’t compare its own side-effect list here — the leaflet that comes with your prescription is the authoritative list for Amphetamine.

Overlapping uses

What Amphetamine Is Prescribed For, and What Lemon Verbena Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Amphetamine is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Lemon Verbena is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Amphetamine is prescribed for: Amphetamine treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients 6 years and older. Adzenys XR-ODT, Dyanavel XR, and the amphetamine extended-release orally disintegrating tablet formulations are specifically approved for ADHD in this age group. Amphetamine Sulfate tablets and Evekeo (amphetamine sulfate tablets) are also approved for narcolepsy (a sleep disorder causing uncontrollable daytime sleepiness) and as a short-term aid in a calorie-restricted weight-loss program for exogenous obesity (weight gain from external factors like overeating) in patients who have not responded to other approaches.

Lemon Verbena has been studied for:

  • Obesity studied, not established Lemon Verbena has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Lemon Verbena for obesity

    Oral lemon verbena leaf extract has only been evaluated in combination with other ingredients; its effect when used alone is unclear.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Amphetamine on your own; if you are taking Lemon Verbena for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

About Lemon Verbena

What is Lemon Verbena?

Lemon Verbena
  • Digestive upset
  • Anxiety and trouble sleeping
  • Joint pain and inflammation
  • Exercise recovery and oxidative stress
  • Weight management
  • Flavoring and aromatherapy

Lemon verbena is a fragrant South American herb most often enjoyed as a tea or flavoring, and it contains polyphenols like verbascoside that have antioxidant activity in lab studies. Some small studies hint at benefits for inflammation, exercise recovery, and appetite, but the human evidence is limited and far from proven. It is generally well tolerated as a food and tea, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated supplements, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Aloysia citrodora · Verbenaceae · Leaves and flowering tops; the essential oil is also used · Tea, capsules, liquid extracts, essential oil, and as a flavoring in foods and beverages

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Lemon Verbena is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Lemon Verbena record says about it on its own.

Lemon Verbena: dosing

There is no official or well-established standardized dose for lemon verbena. As a tea, it is commonly prepared by steeping the dried leaves in hot water, similar to other herbal teas.For capsules and extracts, products vary widely and some are standardized to a certain percentage of polyphenols or verbascoside. More is not always better, and starting with the lowest amount is a sensible approach.
