Took Effexor for two months before I got off of it. As far as I know, one of Effexor's strengths is that it is compatible with most over the counter stuff. I was on several anti-biotics (scrip-strength) and brought them into the doc that prescribed Effexor to me, only to have him say "Shouldn't make a difference" without even looking at the bottles.
As for my two months on it, I frequently downed "energy drinks" that boasted herbal suppliments, and noticed no difference in performance. I'd say it's safe, but it's always a good idea to share your concerns with your doc. Even if it's something small, such as bad dreams while on your medication. They might give you alternatives, but ultimatly the choice is yours, and they will let you make that choice (as long as you're not gonna be like... killing yourself and stuff =P)
