Is It Safe To Have Sertraline And Diazepam For Anxiety
Hello
Iv been in 25mg sertraline for about a month now for my anxiety, and I'm due to fly on holiday in a couple of weeks, iv been prescribed 2mg of diazepan for the flight coz I'm a nervous flyer. The doctor has told me to try 2mg diazepan over the wkend so I know how I'm going to feel on the flight.im scared as always with asking any prescribed medication coz of any side effect. It's taking me a year to start in my setraline silly it sounds I know, but I guess thats my mental health playing me up, worrying. Can I take both my sertraline and diazepan now together?
Help I don't know what to do, iv never had to take anything for flying b4 but this is 4hr flight longest iv done in years,
Thank you

Hello
Sertraline is anti depressant , while diazepam is used for tension and for anxiety .
While the dose prescribed to you is very low and minimum effective and will not produce extra sedation.
Sertraline 25 mg don't have any significant interactions with diazepam .
You can take these two drugs in combination at the same side without any side effect.
Good luck.
