Title: modafinil mixed with antidepressant safe?
Post by: yokes101 on January 28, 2013, 02:57 pm
Is it possible to take Modafinil and anti-depressants at the same time or does the use of one exclude the use of the other?

there is a site where they list interactions. They say:  Combining these medications may increase the blood levels of citalopram and increase the risk of certain side effects, including an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious or life-threatening.

Major interaction : Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.

so i think the combo is not recommended.

Ah I really wanted to give modafinil a try but it doesn't sound worth it. Thanks for the info valakki. :)

Can anyone recommend a drug for energy, motivation and focus?
