I have just aquired some ceremonial cacao, I am currently taking an SSRI Amitryptaline for nerve pain. A cacao guide recommended I stay away from it because it has interactions but, she couldn't explain why or how, I'm looking for anyone who can give further information and spread light on this topic. I am most worried about Serrotonin syndome though I doubt this can happen as Cacao only has MAOI and low doses.

theobromine doesn’t interact with serotonin reuptake transporters. It is a substrate for CYP3A4, thus metabolized by MAO-A. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

 sorry. theobromine doesn’t bind the same serotonin sites as SSRI’s, no contraindications. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

So its safe to take Cacao if I'm on an SSRI? I'm assuming this is what you mean. I know it has direct conflicts with MAOI's One can drive himself to madness in the obsessing goal of reason, without the knowledge of love and laughter.
