I need not have to tell you about my medical condition and the drugs prescribed to counter them, as you have already my case in your data base. My query is: I am prescribed venlor xr 75 mg 1-0-1 for depression and anxiety and the relief is moderate. I am also on lithium 300 mg 0-0-1. Of late, as a supportive drug, I am on nexito forte 0-0-1. Venlor is snsri anti-depressant while nexito is a ssri anti-depressant and lithium is a mood stabilizer and hence can they be combined together or are they contraindicated? Please confirm.

These medications that you mention, i.e. Venlafaxine, lithium and escitalopram that you have been prescribed can be taken simultaneously without any serious side effects. However, it seems like you have a specific question about contraindication. To answer this question, we will need more information from you to determine if it is so. Kindly consult us for a second opinion. Look forward to hearing from you.
