Is it okay to take a tricyclic with an ssri?!


Question: I was on Prozac (60mg) which is an ssri + Imipramine(75mg) which is a tricylic for the past 2 years. It managed to stabilize my depression after six(6) 'hellish' years on Zoloft, then Remeron, then Luvox, then Effexor without success. So, the combination of Prozac + Imipramine did the trick for me. What combination are you taking now?

SSRIs can increase blood levels of tricyclics and may cause complications. You should never mix them without consulting a physician.
