Hi Deanna,
Since you're asking this question, I'm wondering if more than one physician prescribed you the three medications? If that is true, you should discuss what you are taking with one physcian, preferably a psychiatrist (since this is their area of expertise) so that you will avoid problems with drug interactions.
Strattera is a type of antidepressant, so ask your psychiatrist why you were prescribed two antidepressants....you have the right to know and understand why you are being prescribed the drugs that you are!
While there are some free programs to check for drug interactions, the use of these tools should never subsitute for discussions with your doctor or pharmacist.
I am not a physician and I also do not know specifically what you are taking, but you should definitely ask if the sleeping pill is o.k. to take with the antidepressant(s). It may make a difference as to whether you are taking an over the counter sleeping aid versus something prescribed (the ingredients are different) and what class of antidepressant you are taking. Your pharmacist is also another good person to ask about this.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Jennifer Fee
