Ann,

 

There is a warning to monitor closely when taking these two medications together. This is something you need to discuss with your doctor. There are other factors to be considered in addition to possible interactions between these two medications -- any health issues/conditions you may have, and ALL other medications you are taking including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, etc.

 

As Paul mentioned, we can't be available to answer questions immediately. When you need quick answers, don't hesitate to call your doctor or your pharmacist. OK?

 

Please be safe and talk with your doctor about this?

Teri

Ann, this isn't an around the clock monitored site, and even if it were, it's not likely a doctor is monitoring. It's just a site for people with depression to help each other where they can.

 

No one can really tell you that this combination is safe for anyone. Though I don't doubt a number of people have used both at the same time, that is no indication it is always safe given the wide range of side effects, some serious, possible.

 

I haven't taken both, I wish I could give you first hand experience but even then, you shouldn't go by it if I had. Call your doctor who is prescribing these.
