It is a reasonable: alternative if you can tolerate both together. Inquire with your mental health professional.

Maybe: Because each person's chemistry is different, there are many combinations that might work. I assume you and your doctor have discussed and/or tried other combinations. If this is working, keep using it. If not, discuss the results with your doctor.
