Hi,

Yes, it is not advisable to two or more antidepressants together.

1. Taking bupron along with talo-s may increase the risk of seizures, which may occur rarely with either medication.

In addition, bupron can increase the blood levels of escitalopram, which may increase other side effects.

2. Bupron and waklert may increase the blood levels and side effects of norten.

You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use these medications.

Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
