Drug Interactions

Posted By Kathy on April 07, 1999 at 11:32:42:







I am on the following medications, Lipitor 10mg, Corgard 20mg,
Lactulose syrup at 2 tlb per day, Premarin .625 mg and norpramin at 25mg per day for panic attacks ( for the last 15 years)
In the last year the doctor reduced dose of norpramin from 50 to
25 mg because I complain of 30 pound weight gain over the years. I am doing well with the panic even on this smaller dose.
The doctor would like to take me off the norpramin and try the drug Celexa. He wants me to start taking Celexa at 20mg per day
and continue the norpramin for 2 weeks while the celexa kicks in.
My concern is can you take these two drugs together for 2 weeks?
And is there any problems taking Corgard ( a beta-blocker) with the Celexa? I've think I read about Celexa and Metoprolol (beta- blocker) having a problem.  Thank-you for your answer.
