This is what we do in my family: ask doc specifically when it is rx'd, then check interaction checker, if it raises a concern, ask pharmacist, and follow up with doc if still concerned. Also, it is best to fill all rx at the same pharmacy because then they can flag your order if you are rx'd 2 interacting meds at the same time. This happened to me once (but I had discontinued the 1st med already.)

Just sent an email to my pdoc to see if he knows of any interactions, since my family doctor who prescribed it said there were none.

I know some of the online checkers say I shouldn't take the 2 psych meds I am on together, but 2 differnt pdocs have said it is okay at the doses I am on, so maybe the same goes for this.

I trust my family doctor, so I'm just looking for reassurance from my pdoc that there will be no negative reactions.
