Is it safe to take 75 mg of effexor xr and 20 mg of prozac together at the same time? What about serotonin syndrome? thank you
Optional Information: Female, Age: 35, AlaskaAlready Tried: on effexor xr and want to supplement with prozac
Yes, it is safe.
Effexor does not interact with many other medications.
One of the medications,that should not be taken with Effexor,is Tagamet (Cimetidine), this is a medication ,used to treat ulcers.
In patients, with history of high blood pressure and liver disorders, Effexor can make worse these conditions.
And the other medications, that must not be taken with Effexor, are MAOIs (an antidepressive medications like: Parnate or Nardil) . This combination can be lethal. Because this combination,can produce seizures and tachycardia very intense and dangerous.
In relation,to the serotonin syndrome ,this is related, to MAOIs medications, not to Effexor or Prozac that are selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs).
Will it increase the benefits of helping the depression along with increasing energy?
Yes, definitely this is a good combination, that will help to treat the depression, increasing the energy , and motivation to be active and do things.

what resource are you using to determine no adverse reaction ( IN EXAMPLE pdr?)AS FAR AS POTENTIAL HEART FAILURE OR PROBLEMS ORSEROTININ SYNDROME. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHERE YOUR INFO IS COMING FROM AND WHAT YOUR CREDENTIALS ARE.
according to the use of Providence Hospital Health Systems on line database, these two drugs prozac 20 mg and effexor 150 mg SHOULD NOT be combined.i.e because of damage to heart , liver or kidneys. Please respond
