I read that you should not take antidepressants with ritalin (methylphenidate). why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interactions: Interactions between antidepressants and stimulants may produce more side effects like insomnia, lack of appetite, nervousness. If you are depressed, while taking stimulants, antidepressants are recommended in combination, as long as they don't produce more problems, and treat effectively depression. Hypertension is one possible effect that needs to be monitored.
