Question 1

i know the dangers of chantix, would it be okay to take chantix with lithium and paxil (paroxetine)?

Accepted Answer

You don't list: What condition(s) is/are being treated with the lithium ; paxil (paroxetine). Having personally witnessed some very strong negative side effects to Chantix in patients with mood disorders - i would recommend against it. There are other doctors on healthtap however, who strongly advocate for Chantix use.

Question 2

is it okay to take cymbalta (duloxetine) and voltaren?

Accepted Answer

Probably: People commonly take nsaids concurrently with ssri and snri medications. There is an increased GI bleeding risk with chronic use of both nsaids and ssri/snris, so check with your doctor, who will discuss risks/benefits with you (after considering other risk factors based on your medical history).

Question 3

is it okay to take cymbalta (duloxetine) and voltaren at the same times?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding risk: Work with your provider on this.  The interaction between the two is that there is an increased risk of bleeding given both have that risk and can potentiate each other.  If you do not have any other risk factors for increased bleeding, then you can likely take both while being monitored by your provider.

Chantix (bupropion): you need to ask your anaesthesiologist/ prescriber whether you have to hold the medication prior to adminstring GA, as several different  anaesthetics can be used  and may interact with chantix, moreover, if you have to hold it you can't just stop taking it, it has to be monitored with gradual tapering or replaced by another antidepressant till stopped, wish you well
