There is usually no interaction between the two medications that you mention. Also, ​the antidepressant that you mention and most antidepressants start working in about 2-3 weeks from beginning therapy. If you need further clarification, please consult a psychiatrist online who will help with your problems.

Hello
Generalised anxiety disorder is very common and can be treated with the right intervention.
Your doctor has given you good medications. Infact all doctors have the best interest of the patient in their heart. Please try to develop faith on your doctor and only then does any mode of treatment work. Avoid googling excessively for medicines, effects and side effects. You will need to give atleast 2-3 weeks for the effect to come about.
Good luck.

Dear Sanjeev,
No medicine is safe for all the persons taking it. We have to weigh the benefit vs safety.
Having said that, the diazepam is not very safe in the long run. It is NOT an antidepressant tablet. It is prescribed to reduce your anxiety and make your muscles to relax. Whereas fluoxetine is better if it has beneficial effects on you. Please discuss with your doctor.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, delayed ejaculation is often a side effect of ssri or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like fluoxetine (flunil) and sertraline (zosert). Change of medications will solve his problem. Do not stop the medications suddenly, it requires tapering down gradually and gradual changeover to other group. Consult psychiatrist for this process.
