Depression: I commend you for your concern about effects of medications. Prozac 40 mg/day is for moderately severe to severe depression. This dose with long duration of use can cause many side effects. Adipex is a stimulant like Amphetamine. Both medications can cause anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and lack of libido. Use Relaxation Music, Meditation, Yoga. See a Psychiatrist for Therapy and Medication.

Yes: These drugs are usually fine together. Be on the lookout for an increased amount of confusion, agitation, dilated pupils, headaches, twitching muscles, shivering or goose bumps, and diarrhea. If you should notice that, let your doctor know.
