It's a problem: Do you have a really good relationship w/ this doctor? If not - seek a 2nd opinion since I agree w/ the Internet. BUT, I'd also respect a good relationship w/ your doc. It can cause very bad things - but if it doesn't, it doesn't. I'd ask you to consider a psychotherapy trial to see if either of the drugs are even needed. Trust yourself with advice from people you trust to find the right answers.

Symptoms: If you have new symptoms, physical or psychological talk to your prescriber about them. Otherwise trust your doctor.

Both: In general, these two agents are not recommended for use together. However, depending on the clinical necessity, a doctor can prescribe both with close monitoring for serotonin syndrome and increased sympathomimetic effects.
