Sweet Cicely and Trimipramine

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 Trimipramine and Sweet Cicely 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Sweet Cicely at all — not against Trimipramine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

Sweet Cicely safety at a glance

Sweet Cicely overall Use caution Likely safe in small culinary amounts, but medicinal use is poorly studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Safety has not been studied, so avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding.

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

What Trimipramine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Sweet Cicely. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Trimipramine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Mania or an unusually elevated mood Worth acting on
  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • A bowel blockage Worth acting on
  • Trouble passing urine Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 49 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Trimipramine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 1,449 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Trimipramine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Sweet Cicely’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Sweet Cicely side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Sweet Cicely has no side effects.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Trimipramine

This page covers Sweet Cicely only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Trimipramine page lists 139 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), Arsenic (major), Cesium (major) and Ephedra (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Trimipramine page

“If you take trimipramine (Surmontil), a tricyclic antidepressant, read this list carefully. Nine of the 139 supplements and herbs on file are rated major, and most touch the heart: several, grapefruit among them, can stretch the QT interval, the heart's electrical reset time, and raise the risk of a dangerous rhythm.”

About Sweet Cicely

What is Sweet Cicely?

  • Digestive upset and gas
  • Mild cough and chest complaints
  • As a natural sweetener for tart foods
  • Loss of appetite
  • General tonic

Sweet Cicely is a mild, anise-flavored garden herb traditionally used in cooking and folk remedies for digestion and coughs. There is very little modern scientific research to confirm any health benefits, but it is generally considered safe in food amounts. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it as a medicine, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Myrrhis odorata · Apiaceae · Leaves, seeds, and roots · Fresh or dried herb, tea, culinary herb, occasionally tincture

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

Sweet Cicely: dosing

There is no established, standardized medicinal dose for Sweet Cicely. Most use is culinary, where the fresh or dried leaves and seeds are added to food or steeped as a mild tea.If you choose to use a commercial Sweet Cicely product, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Trimipramine

What Is Trimipramine Used For?

Brand names: Surmontil, Trimip, Rhotrimine, Tripramine, Trimp

Trimipramine capsules are indicated for the relief of symptoms of depression. Endogenous depression — depression that arises from within, rather than from an obvious outside cause — is more likely to respond to treatment than other types.

In clinical studies, trimipramine worked as well as imipramine in hospitalized patients with depression, and was comparable to amitriptyline in less severely depressed outpatients.
