Can lithium be taken with Prozac?
Question:
Answers:
Prozac is an SSRI antidepressant, and according to the BNF...
Increased risk of CNS effects when SSRIs given with lithium (lithium toxicity reported)
I assume it is still OK to take them together, under consultant supervision, but the lithium levels will need to be monitored very closely, as should any side effects.
Yes, they sometimes will prescribe anti-depressants along with bi-polar or anti-psychotic drugs. But only a psychiatrist will be able to fully answer this.
