Yup; I also take 2 different ones to help me sleep!. This is normal for some of us with chronic insomnia!.!.!.or depression!. I'm on Trazadone & Remeron!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I take Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) in the evening, for depression and anxiety!. I've been taking that for over a year and a half, and it's working very well for me!.
The Wellbutrin SR seems to help me to be more alert and active - and wanting to do things - while the Lexapro makes me more mellow, and it helps me sleep better, too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

really depends on the exact meds, the doses, when u take them extra!.
but if you follow your doctor's orders in terms of when and how to take them, you should be fine!.
chances are he gave u one to take a night!. it's probably at a smaller dose than what is usually used to treat depression; he wants you to take that med to help you sleep!. the other one you are probably taking at the normal dose for depression!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it's actually very common!. In fact, some antidepressants work best when combined with another!. I am on 2 myself - Effexor and Abilify!. The Effexor is the main antidepressant, and the Abilify has an added effect, and allows me to sleep at night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If they are both SSRI's and your dose is too high you can get serotonin syndrome, which can kill you!. You should call a pharmacy and tell them which meds you are taking and they can look in the computer to see if there is an interaction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is ok actually!.
