Brief Answer:
There are no known interactions betweetn them dear

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question. Your diagnosis hasnt been mentioned in the reports but it has to be a retinal issue as pdt and injection are treatment for the same and is considered the best. There are no known interactions of these two with either antianxiety drugs or antidepressants. So you can continue them . Hope my answer helps you. Regards .

Dear doctor I did macular photodynamic therapy last week. At that time, because I found it early, there was no black shadow and distortion in the center of the left eye, but only a small part of the center point could not be seen. But after doing the PDT treatment, there is now a gray shadow in the center of the left eye and the vision has dropped. Is this normal? Will I vision gradually improve? Why is this happening?
