Is Buspar and Zoloft ok to take together ? Is Anyone on this combination ? Drug interaction checker?

Hello dream2727. I understand your concern. It means that if taking Zoloft and Buspar, for example, the potential of acquiring say Serotonin Syndrome are higher than if you aren't. Dose also plays a role, is a factor. I've been on combinations over the years that are red flaged, and for years at a time, without any side effects that were even close to being damaging. If you are really worried, sit down with your doctor, and tell her/him your reservations about taking these two drugs. Other combinations that are red flaged for example areare Wellbutrin & Zoloft, Remeron & Paxil, Prozac & Wellbutrin etc etc. All these I just mentioned are very successful drug combinations and prescribed as such. Best of wishes along with good health to you,pledge

Hi Dream... Pledge is right. This is the one time you have to be able to communicate with your doctor. There is no other way for them to find out what's going on. I started out by taking prozac and buspar. Buspar helped with anxiety but I was still depressed. My doctor put me on zoloft. I took zoloft and buspar for about 3 yrs with no drug interaction problems. And I also take the buspar twice a day. I know taking different meds is scary. That is where I am at now... but I found zoloft and buspar to be a mild combination. No side effects at all. And it does take awile for the meds to start working after being introduced to your system... hope you feel better soon! jessiesgurl
