I did manage to find some information on the hormones you're taking, but nothing about any possible drug/herb interaction. I would recommend you go over to our Complementary Medicine Forum and talk with Paxiled and other folks there........they know way more about this kind of stuff than I do.
If they can't help you, I'm sure they will know how you can get the answers you need.

I am very surprised to hear that the pharmacist you spoke to didn't know the drug/herb interactions. He/she should have access online to this information. Perhaps you should try another pharama?
I can give you a list, but I don't know for certain that it is complete or up to date. I am using the 2012 Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference.
Xanax should NOT be taken with cat's claw, chamomile, cowslip, echinaces, goldenseal, hops, kava, licorice, Queen Anne's lace, skullcap, St. John's wort, valerian or wild cherry. You should also avoid grapefruit in any form.
Wellbutrin SR should NOT be taken with hops, kava, lavendar, belladonna, corkwood or jimsonweed.
Synthroid should NOT be taken with agar, bugleweed, carnitine, kelpware, soy or spirulina.
Cytomel should NOT be taken with agar, bugleweed, carnitine, kelpware, soy or spirulina.
I would have to know the names of specific hormones to try and find an answer for you.
You're very smart to consider interactions. There are a great many and some are not just a little bit toxic, they are lethal.
Please don't mix anything until you have learned from someone who really knows about this. Losing a few pounds is not worth the price you COULD pay.
Why not give exercise a try? Now that Spring is right around the corner, a brisk hours walk will melt those pounds and give you a great energy boost and you don't have to worry about anything. Just saying...........
Peace
