Can i take prozac and omega 3 at the same time ?

Hi everyone i would like to know if i can take prozac and omega 3 at the same time or at different hours,


is it safe to take both or taking both is dangerous.


just wanna know because i would like to start taking omega 3 since i had heard so many good things about it. so anyways thanks in advanced for your response.|||There is no direct interaction between omega-3 (specifically in this case, it would be the EPA that's relevant) and prozac. ie: there is no toxicity issue.





HOWEVER... therapeutic dosages of DHA (into the range of 2,000-3,000mg/d) will **raise serotonin levels.** So you may have to (be able to) reduce your prozac dosage!





Yes, you can take them at the same time. But know that your fish oil supplement must be taken with meals to optimize absorbance.





Note: Your prescribing physician should be aware that you're starting the fish oil supplements. And you should be assessed periodically (beginning about 2 months after you start the fish oils) to ensure that you're not over-medicating.|||Yes, it's safe. Prozac is an antidepressant and the Omega 3 is just fish oils. They won't interfere with each other. I take potassium supplements (prescribed!) for a severe deficiency and am able to take it with anything, no big deal and potassium is much more serious than Omegas. I just bought some Omega 3 yesterday for my husband and I, good for heart health among other things. Go for it and good luck with the Prozac.|||You're best off not taking Prozac at all. Don't be a victim of the medical e$tabli$hment and BIG PHARMA.





It interferes with your thyroid and many other functions. The active ingredient Fluoxetine (like Fluoride, DANGEROUS) has been shown to cause severe liver dysfunction such as hepatitis.

Check with your pharmacist just to be on the safe side, though.|||yes you can. the two have no connection on their methods of action in the body whatsoever.|||it's best to check with a pharmacist or doctor. most of us here are not in the position to give you proper medical advice
