Fluoxetine and naltrexone have minimal interactions as their way they act on body is different. So it is safe to take them together.

M. S. in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Psychologist•Jaipur
Hi, first of all I would suggest you that for medication part you should talk to your treating doctor so that he can make changes in doses or medicines. Secondly I would highly suggest you to go for cbt and erp therapies with a good psychotherapist. Cognitive behaviour therapy works wonders in case of anxiety and exposure response prevention therapy works very effectively in ocd.
For further help you may contact me here on Lybrate.

Fluoxetine very commonly causes erection problems, discuss with your psychiatrist, there are many alternatives which are effective for anxiety but have lesser sexual side effects. Surprised to hear your doctor has asked you to continue the same despite sexual side effect. All the best.

You tried medicines but you didnã't try counseling sessions. With medicines you need proper counseling and then we will taper you medicines accordingly.

Dear lybrate-user,
1) no medicine is safe on any organ. They can not cause permanent brain damage. No doctor will prescribe a drug that causes permanent brain damage.
2) unless I know the side effects, I can not say how long they will last.
3) they are safe if taken together. They all work together to give you more benefit.
They are all in very low dose now. After 2-3 weeks, follow up with the psychiatrist. Ocd needs much larger dose of clonil and cyclotin.

Hi Lybrate user, fluoxetine (or other drugs of the same class) have a propensity to cause sexual side effects upto the tune of about 70%. However these often go unnoticed or unreported. But these are transiewnt and often go when the meds are stopped.

Dear, prescribed drugs are not antipsychotics, so you need to correct your knowledge regarding drugs and alcohol both.
Also, dear kuma have some faith in your doctor regarding the treatment.
Amitriptyline is a good drug.
Or you can take a second opinion frm other psychiatrist.
Take care.
