Question 1

can u take prozac (fluoxetine) and valium?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It would depend on the dosage, your overall condition and the treatment plan. Sometimes they are prescribed together.Sometimes valium might be used until the Prozac (fluoxetine) reaches a therapeutic level and then it is tapered off. Long term use of valium can lead to dependency on it. You should discuss the game plan with your doctor. Just because you can take them together doesn't mean that you should.

Question 2

took wellbutrin (bupropion) xl 150mg this morning at 10:00am. have had bad anxiety, 10hours later. when will the drug cease effect? i also take prozac and valium.

Accepted Answer

Medication Effects: I feel empathy for your Anxiety
Prozac is a medication for treatment of Depression. It can cause anxiety.

Valium is a medication for treatment of anxiety

Treatment of Depression and anxiety is Therapy, Medication, Breathing Relaxation, Visual imagery, Yoga, and Meditation

It is not advisable to add Wellbutrin (bupropion) when you are taking Prozac.

Wellbutrin (bupropion) XL can cause anxiety

See your Psychiatrist

Question 3

can you take duromine 30 prozac (fluoxetine) and valium?

Accepted Answer

Phentermine+BZD+SSRI: This is a question best answered by the prescribing physician. Anxiety, insomnia and depression can all be adversely affected by the combination. Habit formation due to underlying depression as well as due to the re-enforcing effects of valium and phenermine may set in. Better options are probably available.

Question 4

i take 30mg prozac and 5mg valium daily. is it ok to use cbd (cannabidiol) to help get off valium? any interactions?

Accepted Answer

No: is illegal in some states and is only medicinal in some states and recreational in few states. Consult with your psychiatrist for help getting off Valium

Question 5

what to do if i have taken 95 mg of valium over three days time and soon i need to take 40 mg of prozac (fluoxetine) and straterra?

Accepted Answer

See your Dr. : you need to see your Doctor immediately , I doubt that a physician will prescribe this amount of medication.

Question 6

i am on prozac (fluoxetine) 60 mg also take valium 10mg but it does not help much at all i go so much anxiety i believe prozac (fluoxetine) is doing good for long term ?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Prozac (fluoxetine) can be used long-term. I try to avoid long -term use of benzodiazapines. What are you doing besides taking medication? Cognitive Behavioral therapy or psychotherapy can be effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night &amp; good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies &amp; 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises &amp; meditation

Question 7

i take prozac and have been taking duromine 30 for the past 2 weeks, is this safe and can i also take xanax (alprazolam) or valium at night for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

BZD+stimulant+SSRI: Duromine (phentermine) is a stimulant which can lead to worsened anxiety and insomnia. It can also cause or worsen depression. Similar to Ativan and xanax, (alprazolam) this medication can be habit forming, tolerance and dependance can occur, and a vicious cycle may set in. The question is best answered by the prescribing physician.

Question 8

i take prozac 10mg a day and valium 15mg a day. doc just added wellbutrin (bupropion) to try, 150mg xl. should i worry of seizures? could this help panicidsorder?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: The risk of seizure is lower because of the daily use of Valium.  Wellbutrin (bupropion) is a good antidepressant, but can actually increase anxiety symptoms when initiated. Talk to your doctor about your medication risks, benefits and side effects.

Question 9

over a month off prozac, (fluoxetine) been on ssris over 6 years. take valium 12.5mg a day. shaking, crying, panicky. can anything help? don't want ssris anymore.

Accepted Answer

Off of Prozac (fluoxetine): There are other options to review with your doctor regarding antidepressants, such as Wellbutrin &amp; some SNRIs such as Cymbalta or Effexor (venlafaxine). Wish you well.

Question 10

doc rxed tramadol 50mg-100mg every 6 hours for pain. i've recently come off prozac, (fluoxetine) over two weeks. i also take 15mg valium/day. could i get seizure??

Accepted Answer

Take as directed...: With limited information here, appears decreasing Prozac (fluoxetine) and continuing on valium poses little risk.  Reminder to start and stop medications as directed by prescribing physician, but in general, decreasing and stopping Prozac (fluoxetine) or ssri type medications is reasonably safe from a seizure risk concern.
