L-theanine is made up of components of green tea. Other ingredients include chamomile flower extract, passion flower extract and lemon balm leaf extract. These are added to the melatonin as a way to relax the mind. My question is, does any of this interfere with the effectiveness of Tamoxifen? Thanks!

    I'm still trying to figure out melatonin - the Memorial Sloan Kettering herb site says it can effect your estrogen levels and to check with your onc first if you have er+ cancer. And a pharmacist told me that green tea was fine, but not as a concentrated supplement. Not sure about the others but that herb site would have info on it!

    passion flower contains harmalines aka telepathins, the substance which tempers tobacco, thus making the patch even more anger producing than the natural stuff as it contains only the nicotine & not including the harmalines present in tobacco
