> This might be important, like a form of therapy based on counselling, thinking or talk seems beneficial for success of drug based psychotherapy.

While I don't doubt there is some human component to this, what I worry about are interactions with standard prescriptions and OTC medicines.

Of course. Ergoloids have a long list of side effects, which is why they're considered outdated or third line treatments for many illnesses. But not others, say for severe migraines, they're still best or first line available agents.

Those risks are always weighted against benefits.
