is it safe to take phentermine with prozac?

Answer:
Is it safe to take phentermine with Prozac?According to drugs.com drug interaction software - NOfluoxetine and phentermine (major Drug-Drug) GENERALLY AVOID:Several case reports suggest that patients treated with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) may exhibit an increased sensitivity to sympathomimetic agents. The mechanism of interaction is unclear. The reaction has been reported when fluoxetine was used concomitantly with phentermine, amphetamine, or phenylpropanolamine. Additionally, some sympathomimetic agents (e.g., amphetamines) may possess serotonergic activity and should generally not be administered with SRIs because of the additive risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A receptors.Despite so-called "anecdotal reports" of others speaking here without legal authority, I would not recommend the two together for a couple of reasons: one, the rare, but potential drug interaction; two, the reason you're taking Prozac should be way more important in stablizing than losing weight. Get a grip on the underlying reason for taking an antidepressant - THEN take care of any weight issue. Not that losing weight isn't important for long-term health, but mental health issues trump losing weight in the big scheme of things.I hope this helps.Rick the Pharmacist

never good to mix drugs

Yes, it is. Actually prozac enhances the phentermine. I have always taken the two together. When your body seems to have become immune to the phentermine, start taking prozac once daily with it. It will kick start it again. But as always please consult with your physician.
