I looked into what side effects may occur with saffron. It seems that minor side effects are common but serious reactions are rare. Saffron side effects:
Headaches, nausea and reduced appetite were reported frequently with a similar incidence to SSRIs. Increased appetite was reported less commonly. Sexual dysfunction was only a problem with SSRIs, not saffron. As with SSRIs, some pts seemed to have an initial increase in anxiety at the start of saffron treatment. Anxiety was then reduced after a few weeks. It appears than saffron may reduce blood pressure.
