Brief Answer:
Remote possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Well the medication that you are taking currently is belongs to antidepressant group of medication and as far as the interaction with other drugs concerned it has known drug interaction with some group of medication called MAI inhibitors (eg MAO inhibitors include furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine.) But it has remote possibility of having any interaction with herbal formula as you have mentioned (metagenics) and also may have least drug interaction with homeopathic medication.
You should discuss with your doctor (Hopeopath) if you haven't seen one before taking herbal and homeopathic medication.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
