Are there possible dangers from taking Addaral and Prozac ?
by Sp307, Apr 24, 2004 12:00AM
I am 19 years old. I have been taking Prozac(fluoxetine) on a somewhat consistant basis, i DO try to take it every day and not miss doses, in 20 mm doses for the past two months.
I am considering taking Addaral ( addarol) for other purposes and reasons. Are there any DANGEROUS warnings or side effects or blantant no no's i should know about from possibly taking both medications at the same time? IE. will i all of a sudden flop of a heart attack or seziure or something to that degree from unknowingly taking both drugs?

No, these medications can be taken at the same time. Be sure to follow the instructions of your prescribing doctor carefully. As I think you already know, it is very important that you take your Prozac every day. For the medication to be optimally effective, it must maintain a particular blood level, and this can happen only if you take it as prescribed. If you skip doses, the blood level will fluctuate as a result.
