Question: MY HUSBAND IS ON MANY DRUGS AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE A GOOD OR BAD MIX. EACH DR. WANTS TO GIVE HIM DIFFERENT DRUGS, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THESE INTER ACT WITH EACH OTHER OR CAUSE HARM?

COULD THESE MEDS CAUSE MORE DEPRESSION? TIRED, NO MOTIVATION AND HAS A HARD TIME REMEMBERING THINGS? STILL HAS THE RESTLESS LEGS. NO SEX DRIVE. THE BLOOD PRESURE GOES UP AND DOWN.

Brief Answer:
Replace one of the 2 antidepressant drug you are having

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Trazodone the antidepressant that he is having causes loss of interest in sex, depression, weakness or fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness or loss of balance and confusion.

The other antidepressant Fluoxetine causes pain, weakness, yawning, tired feeling, tremors or shaking, feeling anxious or nervous.

I will advise you to consult your doctor and replace one of the antidepressant with something new which has less side effects.

Regards

DR DE
