Fluoxetine and escitalopram
MD physician prescribed fluoxetine 20mg at morning and escitalopram 10mg+ clonazepam 0.5mg at night for anxiety disorder.
I searched on google that fluoxetine and escitalopram has interaction. I got scared.
Is it safe to take both of them at different time as suggested by physician?
