Yes, you can. There are some interactions between the drugs included in the question, however, the combined use of these drugs may be therapeutically beneficial. The patient should also be closely monitored for signs of toxicity during the use of the combination. Both drugs come from the same group (SSRIs) with similar effects. Using them at the same time can cause arrhythmias and excessive increase in serotonin levels in the brain, which threatens the occurrence of disorders referred to as serotonin syndrome. If medicines have been prescribed by different doctors, consultation is necessary to determine whether these medicines can be used at the same time and, if so, whether the recommendations on how to give them need to be changed. If the medication was prescribed by the same doctor, please follow the dosage regimen. If you experience palpitations, fast or irregular heartbeat, weakness, shortness of breath, chest pain, feeling hot, fainting, vomiting, headaches and dizziness, fever, high blood pressure, convulsions, hallucinations or other disturbing symptoms - please contact your doctor.
