Medication for depression/ Anxiety

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi,

Looking for a bit of advice on medication - A friend of mine have been given 3 drugs to take at the same time. Lorazepam 1mg, Perphenazine 4mg and Sertraline (Sisalon) 50mg.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this ?

Thanks in advance

    According to my knowledge, sertraline should not be taken with other antidepressants, phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek), and alcohol. It also interacts with blood thinners and medications that can affect heart rhythm.

    If your friend is taking any of these medications, they should talk to their doctor about the potential risks and benefits of taking them together.
