A couple of Feverfew leaves a day are not going to hurt.
(They taste terrible)
The rat poison Warfrin kills people daily. If the doc has prescribed
it for you he is worried or stupid.
In a State of Oz with 4 million people:-
"Medication errors accounted for 18 per cent of notifications, or
22,500 incidents. Powerful painkilling drugs such as morphine and
oxycodone were most commonly involved in adverse incidents, followed
by the heroin substitute methadone, insulin, the blood-thinning agent
warfarin and the common painkiller paracetamol."

Feverfew MAY contain aspirin like compounds so it is probably good not
to take drugs in that family while you are also taking Feverfew
