N and Antidepressants : bad interactions ?

[Alucard]

Do antidepressants reduce the effect of N ?

If we have been taking them for a long time, should we stop them before taking the N - or should we mix Dilantin with N (as in the case of an antipsychotic treatment) ?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I think it depends on the antidepressant, most should be fine however, they usually don't interact with GABA receptors at all.

But I know that substances that cause sleepiness tend to have some level of cross-tolerance even if they don't act on the same receptors. That's probably the reason why N tends to be less effective on people who use antipsychotics for long periods of time.

Thank you. Escitalopram, for example, is good ?

This is a drug from the SSRI class, so I don't think that it has any direct effect on GABA. you should be fine.

Thank you. So, one can be depressed and take N.

Dilantin is already in dolethal. Dilantin is also called phenytoin.
