synthroid and prozac interaction

My psychiatrist put me in prozac and buspar. Are these two good together? Do they have interactions? Has anyone else taken these together?

It's been two years since my RAI treatment and my doctor put me on levothyroxin too soon. I found myself having symptoms of hyperthyroid so he lowered the dose to 50. I was having stomach trouble with levothyroxin generic so I switched to Synthroid which made me feel better. He also put me on Toprol for high blood pressure. I was a mess and feeling very weak due to low appetite and constant stomach issues like IBS so went off Synthroid.

is it ok to take prozac and asprin , iread where there is increased risk of bleeding with the two...i have bad toothache and took a asprin...

My doctor says that there is not interaction, my pharmacist has never warned me of a potential reaction and they are very good about that, and I checked both a drug interaction checker online and the Synthroid website. According to the Synthroid website and to the drug interaction checker on drugs.com, Synthroid can increase the therapeutic effects of Prozac and the possibility of needing the dose of Synthroid increased.

Hi, welcome to the forum, the drug herbal interaction between the valerian and prozac is not been well known or studied. There can be more sedation due to this combination. As for herbal drugs, Valerian has a long history of use as a sedative and anxiolytic. It is one of the most popular herbal preparations in Europe. It has also been reported that valerian improves sleep quality. It may have benefit for individuals with stress caused by a number of factors.

You can switch this around but avoid taking vitamins with synthroid (calcium and iron can interfer with thyroxine absorption) and metformin (can inhibit the absorption of vitamin B12).

Copy/paste from Cam@drBob - There "may" be an interaction between melatonin and Prozac (fluoxetine). Some evidence comes from animal studies, but how these relate to humans is still unresolved (as far as I know; I been out of the loop for a couple years. In animal studies, melatonin does decrease levels of fluoxetine, but the significance of this is in question. A molecule related to fluoxetine, fluvoxamine (Luvox) naturally increases blood levels of melatonin.

I take the synthyroid (complete thyroidectomy Dec 2008) and coumadin (DVT) at the same time and then 1 1/2 hrs later, I take topamax (migraine) and protonix (GERD). Is this enough time between each?

I'm currently taking xanax, and will start prozac tomorrow. Does anyone know of any possible interaction between xanax and prozac taken together? My doctor says he's not aware of anything, But I just wanted to get some opinions from people who may have first hand knowledge or know of someone who does. So I guess do benzos and ssri's mix well? I really need the xanax untill the prozac can kick in.

Has anyone experienced breathing problems with Zoloft. Youknow, the "I can't quite catch my breath" feeling. And if you yawn you finally get enough air. My heart and lungs have checked out fine. Other than that , I feel much better for since being on it for 2weeks. Also, any thoughts on the sucess of other meds besides zoloft? Prozac? Lexapro?

I was diagnosed with PVC's 15 years ago and was put on Metoprolol 25 mg. I've now been diagnosed with depression and was prescribed Prozac 10 mg which I'm afraid to take now because of the drug interactions I've seen on the internet with these two drugs. Can I run into problems by combining these two drugs.

Something that blocks absorption is not the same as something that interacts with Synthroid... Ingredients that block absorption just need to be taken several hours away from the Synthroid, whereas ingredients that interact may need to be avoided completely.

I also ran an interaction checker on all three, Tramadol, Hydroxyzine and Synthroid, Synthroid produce no interaction with the other two, al though I di get a "Moderate" Interaction on Tramadol and Hydroxyzine as below: MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

Hi i'm on Prozac and trazodone if you start on a low dose of trazodone it shouldn't be an issue and there really is no interaction with trazodone and Prozac because I've been on trazodone and Prozac for years and I've never had a problem you just have to take it like maybe you're better off just taking half a tablet or something

Prozac and Paxil both significantly block the pathway for the metabolism of Adderall and all the amphetamine products. [Wellbutrin and Cymbalta can block 2D6 at their higher doses.] If you take either of these two antidepressants together with an amphetamine, just watch out. You can significantly become overdosed on the amphetamine and suffer significant side effects. Often this interaction can unpredictably occur several months later.

Sorry no one has responded to you yet. I guess the Forum has been kind of slow lately. To answer your questions: No, 20Mgs a day of Prozac is not a large dosage. Dosages for prozac range from 20Mgs a day up to 60Mgs a day. You can expect it to be between 3 to 6 weeks before any theraputic effects of the Prozac kick in. The most common side effects are Dry mouth, (almost everyone gets this) and either constipation or Diareea. That one kind of depends on the person.

I am currently on 20 mg of prozac and .5 of xanax. The insomnia from the prozac is crazy. I have a prescription for trazadone but do not want to take because of the interaction with the prozac. Ive been reading about melatonin. Has anyone tried taking it for sleep? Did it help? And will the insomnia from prozac get better and how long would that take?

I checked for drug interaction between Synthroid (levothyroxine) and nortriptyline, but there is only minor interaction reported. However, a potentially life threatening condition called serotonin syndrome may occurred with nortriptyline, either taken alone or with MAOIs (or monoamine oxidase inhibitors) and/or other serotonergic drugs, such as triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, and etc.

s of Neurontin a day for severe back pain. Would this interact with my Prozac?? Could it have a bad interaction with each other?? I would assume not since my doctor put me on them all, but you never know. Doctors have been known to be wrong before. :) They are human like the rest of us.

seems since being on it my sex drive is gone...im on hormones,estratest and femring..going off prozac on wellbutrin sr and xanax..

I have to have a hysterectomy in Feb. due to female issues. Will there be any issues for me taking Synthroid 200mcg & having to be placed on HRT ? My last ovary will have to come out. Any interaction between the two. My gyno says should not be any issues with the thyroid medication once she puts me on HRT.
