My doctor prescribed me Escitilopram 10mg and Buspirone 7.5mg and I'm scared.

I read that combining these two medications can lead to Serotonin Syndrome.

but I'm prescribed to take the Buspirone twice a day, once in the evening and once at night. and I'm prescribed to take Escitilopram just once a day, causing me to have to take the meds together atleast once a day.

I am on day 4 of these meds and I have been experiencing some strong side effects- but I didn't know how dangerous it could be until I looked it up. I've been pushing through hoping the side effects would fade over time. But I don't think it's safe after what I just learned!

Why the hell would my doctor prescribe me medication that could send me into a convulsive siezure if taken together!? I'm panicking!

what do I do!?

    talk to a pharmacist about this. They are the ones who know about medication, interactions, and serious outcomes.

    You have the right to question your doctor about medication’s. They prescribe to you. I always question my doctor when I have concerns. And then, if I am not satisfied, I will get the correct answer.
