Safe to take two anti-depressants at same time?!
Question:
Safe to take two anti-depressants at same time?
This is a question for a doctor, pharmacist or nurse practitioner. Is it safe for an otherwise healthy person to take Sertraline (Zoloft) and Tofranil-PM together? One is an SSRI and the other is a tricyclic, and it seems like an awful lot of medication to me. But my doctor says it's perfectly safe to take them. I appreciate any feedback.
Answers:
Safe only if it is not for long tem use. Do you take both at the same time. Ideally you should take the Zoloft in the AM and the Tofranil in the PM. Does the zoloft make you drowsy? How long have you been on both meds? Do you have many side effects? Is your Dr. a psychiatrist? Has he mentioned to you how long he would like to keep you on both meds? I just want to make sure that you're being properly supervised. Do you suffer from a diagnosed chemical imbalance and are you also receiving counselling?
Thanks and I hope you will get back to me,
