I am on fluoxetine fluvoxamine and libotryp. I am slowly tapering off fluoxetine as I think it is not working. Should I add venlafaxine and mirtazapine as advised by a doctor? Do these medicines interact with each other and will cause any serious side effects?

Dear lybrate-user, I have already answered your concern of drugs. Fluoxetine, fluoxamine, libotryp, venlafaxine and mirtazapine are all antidepressants acting on various neurotransmitters. All of them work on serotonin receptors also. Together they can cause serotonin syndrome that is serious. Try and follow one psychiatrist and let her/him address your concerns of drugs not working, tapering and adding newer drugs.

Both mirtazepine and venalafaxine are good options but it depends on your age and comorbidities, details of which need further clarification. I will go for starting only one drug after finding out which will be most appropriate in your condition.
