What Are The Side Effects Of Rexipra?
Question: I have been prescribed Fludac 20 mg in morning and rexipra 10 mg at night and Petril md (sos) I am afraid to take rexipra as I read the side effects. My question is can I take rexipra or not?
Brief Answer:
Take one only after discussing with your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
If this is your first prescription or withing 3 months of starting treatment I do not think you need two antidepressants. Since both fludac and rexipra are antidepressants and act in similar fashion you need to take one among them after discussing with your doctor.
Although it is not advisable to prescribe two antidepressants from the day one but there could be special reason for you so before making a decision to stop one it is advisable to talk to your doctor.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

My age is 37 years, earlier I did not have any side effects except for feeling sleepy. After I read online about the side effects of rexipra I am afraid to take the tablet now. Symptoms -- right now I am feeling scared, heaviness in chest, some times feeling difficult to breath. XXXXXXX 25 I have done an echo cardiographs and the reports were normal.
Brief Answer:
Thereis need to up the dose
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
First of all I like to inform you that suicidal tendencies as a side effect are common in adolescents and not in adults.
Now regarding the dose I feel there is need to increase dose rather than stopping any of them. I feel increasing fish of recipes and stopping fludac could be right answer for your ptoblem.
Please discuss with your doctor about same.
I hope this helps you.
