Yerba Mate (MAOI?) while on Wellbutrin - dangerous?
    #6965982 - 05/25/07 02:41 PM (16 years, 8 months ago)

I'm on Wellbutrin SR 150mg. I recently bought a 1/2 pound bag of yerba mate. Now I've read that yerba mate is a MAOI. I know that you're supposed to avoid MAOI's while on Wellbutrin and other antidepressants. Do you think drinking the yerba mate on occasion would be dangerous or relatively harmless?

dont combine mao inhibitors with anti-depression medication. bad bad bad bad BAD idea. unless welbutrin is an exception. yerba mate is a maoi? i dont think thats correct. you should do your research more. i could be wrong, but i dont think that mate is one. one of us is wrong, and i dont feel like looking it up, so off the the search bar young novice!

nevermind i just checked it out on erowid. it said nothing about mate being an maoi. it just has a lot of caffeine in it. i've drank the tea before, and i really like the flavor and to caffeine buzz, but im pretty sure it would have a huge warning on the box that would tell you that its an maoi. (yes it came in a box)

Wikipedia (yeah I know, but this is the only source I can find) -

"An August 11, 2005 United States patent application (documents #20050176777, #20030185908,[19] and #20020054926) cites yerba mate extract as an inhibitor of MAO activity; the maximal inhibition observed in vitro was 40–50%. A monoamine oxidase inhibitor is a type of antidepressant, so there is some data to suggest that yerba mate has a calming effect in this regard."

What should this mean to me in regard to drinking mate while on wellbutrin?
