Medication side effects

Atomoxetine was prescribed to me to treat adhd. I took it along with fludac and it caused various side effects like high bp, pulse rate change, anger, aggression and irritability. Can the side effects of atomoxetine be nullified or stabilized by combining it with another ssri like sertraline or fluvoxamine ? Or even desvenlafaxine/venlafaxine? Please answer

Fluoxetine increases levels of atomoxetine by reducing its metabolism. So there are higher chances of side effects of atomoxetine. You should reduce the dose of atomoxetine in consultation with your Psychiatrist. Sertraline is less problematic than fluoxetine or paroxetine, if combined with atomoxetine.
Next Steps
reduce the dose of atomoxetine and shift from fluoxetine to sertraline in consultation with a psychiatrist.
