Brief Answer:
Yes they can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Regarding medications they can be combined as there is no such contraindications.

But for depression I am not convinced with combination because there are safer alternatives like venlafaxine, pristiq and others.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks again.

Brief Answer:
Hi think there is need for complete evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Over the last 24 hours while answering your query I realized there are many unaddressed concerns as I can see from the number of medications and kid of symptoms you mentioned over here.

I feel that depression is still persent and there is need to increase the dose after proper discussion.

I understand that online is good but it can not supplement the in person consultation with your doctor.

I request you to see a doctor in your city and discuss all these details.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
