Ok I have beenon Sertraline for fairly controlled depression, had a stroke in 2013 with amazing recovery. Short trm memory have gradually presented in past 2 years. Today I asked my neurologist if a medication would help mem issueas; is bginning to get a bit irritating now. He put me on donepezil today W/a gradual dose increase over 2 mo. Will sertraline and donepezil work Safely together. I forgot to ask
You may use the drug safely. While Sertraline may increase the effect very little by inhibiting its metabolism, however, this does not appear to pose any significant effect on either of the drug. So you may use the two.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
