Is Prozac Compatible With Other Medications And Will It Give More Energy?

I have schizoaffective with major depression. I also sometimes get anxiety from depression or stress. I take Invega 3mg, Pristiq 50mg, and Lorazepam 2mg. Sometimes Lorazepam does not work well for me. Most times I still get depression symptoms and behaviors from Pristiq that does not work right for me. Lorazepam is still good enough for me. But, the antidepressant is not right. Is Prozac compatible with all my other medications and will this help give me more energy from Prozac??

Hello,

Prozac is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor used for various indications as major depression, bulimia nervosa (eating disorder), panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorders. It is equally compatible with rest of the anti depressants and other psychiatric medications ; it is not meant to give more energy. It is the level of pre-synaptic serotonin availability which decides the over all energy and well being.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
