Adverse Interactions?

I take 20mgs. Prozac daily.
Also take co-codamol 60/1000 x2 times daily. Also, Ranitidine 150mgs. x 1 during day & 300mgs x1 at night.   Often take Ibuprofen 800mgs. at night too.  Sometimes I take Diazepam 5mgs. per day as necessary.

Recently I've been so depressed I started taking BUSPIRONE 5mgs. x3 times daily.

My question is, are any of these drugs interacting adversely with each other?

As long as a doctor or pharmacist has taken into account the effect of taking two or more medicines at the same time it should be perfectly safe. For this reason you should always tell your doctor about all the medicines you are using, including herbal remedies and those bought without a prescription, since drug interactions can occur with these too.  
  I hope this helps...remember to always go to the same pharmacist and the same dr.  If you go to different doctors make sure they know exactly what you are on ...this could be very dangerous if you mix meds and the doctors don't know the full history.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

If they're all prescribed by the same physician or the prescriber is aware of that you take those medications, it is probably no reason to worry.

I'd call a pharmacist to ask about this. You must really have a solid stomach being able to take such a cocktail!

Before I was sent to a pain-management programme for my backpain a few years ago, I did daily take a total of 2400 mg ibuprofen. It was of course 600 mg as needed but I had to take that much to even cope. The body built up a good resistance! Believe it or not but after two weeks with exercise and getting in physical motion at least 3 times a week, I could throw the pain-pills away. I guess I got dependant of them (and the codeine)!

Check with the pharmacy!

Wow...I don't know how to answer your question because I don't even know what 1/2 of the stuff that you mentioned is but I wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you. Also, it does seem like you are taking alot of meds. It is never good to combines meds anyway...but I am not a doctor. I wish you the best.
