I know that negative prescription drug interactions are a big deal. Should I be worried about negative interactions among legal supplements I take like Coq10, Vit D, glucosamine, curcumin, desiccated liver, Bacopa Monnieri, or NAC?

There are software programs that have databases of drug and supplement interactions. Also, pharmacists tend to know more about these things than doctors. So, you could find a database and search it, and/or ask a pharmacist. There isn't as much information available on supplements as there is about drugs, so it's hard to answer the question with a lot of certainty.
