Hello lybrate-user, using both together can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision. Along with medicines try to over come depression by positive thinking and gratitude, talk to one person about your feelings help someone else by volunteering have lunch or coffee with a friend ask a loved one to check in with you regularly accompany someone to the movies, a concert, or a small get-together call or email an old friend go for a walk with a workout buddy schedule a weekly dinner date meet new people by taking a class or joining a club confide in a clergy member, teacher, or sports coach tip 2: do things that make you feel good come up with a list of things that you can do for a quick mood boost. The more ?tools? for coping with depression you have, the better. Try and implement a few of these ideas each day, even if you?re feeling good. Spend some time in nature list what you like about yourself read a good book watch a funny movie or tv show take a long, hot bath take care of a few small tasks play with a pet talk to friends or family face-to-face listen to music do something spontaneous tip 3: get moving exercise is a powerful depression fighter?and one of the most important tools in your recovery arsenal. Research shows that regular exercise can be as effective as medication for relieving depression symptoms. It also helps prevent relapse once you?re well. To get the most benefit, aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. This doesn?t have to be all at once?and it?s okay to start small. A 10-minute walk can improve your mood for two hours. Exercise is something you can do right now to boost your mood tip 4: eat a healthy, depression-fighting diet what you eat has a direct impact on the way you feel. Reduce your intake of foods that can adversely affect your brain and mood, such as caffeine, alcohol, trans fats, and foods with high levels of chemical preservatives or hormones (such as certain meats). Don?t skip meals. Going too long between meals can make you feel irritable and tired, so aim to eat something at least every three to four hours. Minimize sugar and refined carbs. You may crave sugary snacks, baked goods, or comfort foods such as pasta or french fries, but these ?feel-good? foods quickly lead to a crash in mood and energy. Aim to cut out as much of these foods as possible. Boost your b vitamins. Deficiencies in b vitamins such as folic acid and b-12 can trigger depression. To get more, take a b-complex vitamin supplement or eat more citrus fruit, leafy greens, beans, chicken, and eggs. Boost your mood with foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids play an essential role in stabilizing mood. The best sources are fatty fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, tuna, and some cold-water fish oil supplements. Tip 5: get a daily dose of sunlight tip 6: challenge negative thinking wish you a good healthy and happy life.

Both medicine can't be taken at night as venlor xr 37.5 mg cause sleep difficulty. You start with only one medicine that is mirnite 15 mg that is also quite effective in depression.

Yes, you can take both medications at night time if the morning medication is making you drowsy. However it would be good to inform your doctor's office of the change and the reason for the same before your next visit. In addition if you need a second opinion, we would be glad to provide you with the same. Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, an appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.

Dear Navneet, Venlor xr may not interfere with your work. But there is a possibility of forgetting to take it when you are busy to get ready to go to work. So please take both at night - preferably after food.

Yes. You can take both at night. I believe the doctor is a psychiatrist as this combination needs to be carefully used by that specialist. All the best.
