I always thought you aren't supposed to mix ssri, but your doctor knows more about this stuff than I do. If Zoloft is working, could you just take Zyprexa with it instead of the Symbyax?
Not sure about these combo pills seems a little like a "patent extender" I'm waiting for GSK to come out with "Lamixil" (lamictal + paxil)

> So I've been on 100 mg of Zoloft and Symbyax-25 mg of Prozac and 3 mg of Zyprexa for about 2 weeks now. I'm not quite sure what my doctor plans on doing in the next few weeks. God is my brain so burned that I can take combine SSRIs like this without a problem? Maybe this is just like doubling my dose of Zoloft or taking 60 mg of Prozac. So maybe combining 2 different SSRIs at moderate doses is no different than taking a high dose of one SSRI? Maybe it's even better in some cases since you get the benefits of the mechanisms of both SSRIs?
