Hi Anna,
Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions, even though you can combine the use of antidepressants and slimming pills in most cases, you should speak with your doctor before adding weight loss pills to your treatment plan. It should not be an additive effect, as some antidepressants, can cause weight loss and further decrease appetite as side effects. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Thanks
