So, I take generic Prozac and generic Risperdal for psychiatric problems. I know when you check them in those drug interaction checkers it says not to take them together, but the same pdoc prescribed both to me and another pdoc agreed with the prescribing, so it must not be as bad as the online things say. I have been on Risperal since Oct. 2008 and Prozac since Jan. 2009, so it's been a while.

I remember asking pdoc after I looked them up months after I had been on them and him saying at the doses I was on it was safe to take them together. I remember not believing him and calling several different pharmacies to ask about it and getting about 1/3 saying it was unsafe and 2/3 saying at the doses I was on it was okay. So, I assumed it was okay and stopped worrying about it.

About 6 months ago, my athsma came back (I had it as a kid, but then it went away for a long time), so my family dr. put me on DuoNeb (insurance payed for gerneric of course...same difference to me). I asked him before he prescribed it if it would interact with any of my other meds, he said it wouldn't and I believed him. I used it for a week until I quit wheezing as prescribed. A few months later I was wheezing again, so I was put on the nebulizer again for a week. No problems. Now last night I began wheezing again, my family dr. is closed until after Christmas, so I can't get in to ask this of him. I do have some of the generic DuoNeb solution vials left from last time as he said use it till I quit wheezing but gave me enough for 30 days in case I needed more later and didn't want to come in.

I was thinking about using it tonight, but now am scared to. I don't know why I did, but I was curious about it's interactions with my psych meds, so I checked and it says both of my psych meds interact with the DuoNeb. But when I ask the dr. when it was prescribed he said there was no reactions known. Is he just unaware of the interactions, or do those online sites make it look worse than it is?

I don't want to have a heart attack or stroke from using all of them at the same time. It says something about QT intervals on the interaction stuff. Should I worry or not?
