Will It Be Safe To Take Fluoxetine Along With Nortiptyline As Well As For Depression?
Hello! :-) I am currently taking 20 mg. Nortriptyline at bedtime for headache (due to neurosurgery post a 2010 cerebellar hemhorrhage due to an avm. ) Would it be OK to also take 10 mg. Fluoxetine in the morning, as well, for depression? OK to take low dosages of a tricyclic antidepresant with an SSRI?

Hi
Both drug can be used together but you had some brain surgery so it will be advisable to discuss with your neurosurgeon before starting
