You wrote,[...add..another SSRI or some other kind of antidepressant...increase buspar..lamictal...pdocs..think that isn't possible...].
I am unsure as to the following. If you could post answers here to my concerns, then I could have the opportunity to respond ccordingly.
A. Are you aware that combinning SRIs could cause death?
B. If so, what could be your rationale for posting here to the member to add another SRI?
C. Are you aware of the potential consequences to someone taking Lamictal? If so, what could be your rationale for the advice to increase the member's dosage of it?
D. Could you do a drug interaction assessment with the drugs listed by the member to see what the consequences could be if they add your suggested SRI or other antidepressant or increase Lamictal and then post here any contraindications of any combination of the drugs listed along with adding another SRI?
