Interaction: Together both can cause proloonged QT and elevated seratonin levels. With that said there are a number of people who take the medications without problem I think one significant issue is how much? If you inadvertently took an extra dose unlikely an issue.. However you took a number of tabs call poison control. If not let medicines wash out for 12 to 24 hours then restart as prescribed.
