Does Fish Oil, Calcium And Anti- Depression Medicines Have Any Interactions With Each Other?
I am taking 3 drugs daily for depression: 2.5 mg Abilify; 400 mg Bupoprion Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tabs; and 225 mg Venlafaxine. I also take 70 mg Alendronate Sodium Tabs; 1,000 mg of food based Calcium; and a whole food Liquid Multi Vitamin & Mineral product called Alive by Nature s Way (includes 100 mg Calcium). I am considering taking 1,000 mg of Fish Oil, and was looking for interactions between Fish Oil and the anti- depression meds, as well as any interactions with the Calcium tabs, and the Multi Vit & Min supplement. If you could help me with this, I will be very grateful. Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Carol Kearns

HI
Thanks for healthcare magic
There is no major interaction between antidepressant and these multivitamin drugs. You can take them with antidepressant. These supplements would help to boost the effect of antidepressant and you can take it without any worry. Better to take them in limit dose because overdose of fish oil has its own side effects like gastric disturbance.
