What is the difference between Effexor and Prozac?

Prozac (fluoxetine) and Celexa (citalopram) have the same mechanism of action. The biggest differences are in pharmacokinetics (how the body handles the drug). Fluoxetine stays in the body for a couple of weeks after the medication has been discontinued. Citalopram is cleared more rapidly. Fluoxetine has much more drug/drug interactions which might become a problem when using certain other drugs at the same time.


Can you mix tramadol with citalopram?

No! You can't! The coadministration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, like Citalopram, Prozac, etc.) with tramadol, which has weak serotonin reuptake i inhibiting effect, may potentiate the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5HT1A receptors. Hope this helps!

How to switch Lexapro to Prozac?

I just saw my Dr. Today because I am switching from Lexapro to Prozac because of weight gain on Lexapro. This is coming from my Dr. You MUST NOT MIX LEXAPRO and PROZAC. They are not compatible chemically. You must allow at least 3 or more days for the one drug to "wash out" of your system before you start the new one. You may need more time than that. Confirm this with your Dr.
