Benzos are questionable. I have read that they can cause hemorrhages in the sclera of the eye in some people.

INR is the standard clotting test. Also platelet levels.
This link explains ProTime and INR:

People combining certain herbs/supplements have to be careful about bleeding effects.

For example there should be a sticker on your Lexapro stating not to use with NSAIDs or aspirin. That is a clear example of also watching for supplement interactions where bleeding is concerned..

There are so many, and also many not even tested yet!
Before starting anything, Bruegger, you should look up the supplements carefully before taking them, since you are experimenting quite a bit with them. I have several good links in the stickies at the top of the forum, where you can look up risks of things.
