Hi, has anyone out there had to use Advil with Cipralex for headaches? My pharmacist says it's okay, just not to use it for long term? My headache needs to go away! confused confused

You can check out this website, but I would trust your pharmacist...it sounds like he gave you a safe and conservative answer.:)

I use ibuprofen and Zoloft together all the time. BUT........ it's only because I have Fibromyalgia and it helps with the pain. I take 600-800 mgs a day, sometimes twice a day, under the supervision of my doctor, of course.

I would follow what your pharmacist recommended or consult with your doctor.

Does Xanax and Cipralex both slow the heart beat down?

Hi Hopeful,

I was hesitant to reply to this initially because I am not a medical expert, but since you have not received a response so far...I will venture to say that, from what I have read, yes this seems to be a side effect of both Rx's.

However, you really need to talk to a professional, either your doctor or pharmacist, to get the true facts regarding this issue!

Only they can give you reliable information and can help you decide what is best for you. (as I am sure you know...you should never start or stop a medication without your doctor's approval.)

I hope that you get the answers that you need soon, and that your health and Rx situation gets worked out to your advantage!

Hopeful,

Tough question and I agree with SC,  asking your Dr. is your best source.  Everyone responds to drugs differently. The way a person responds to a drug is affected by many factors, including genetic makeup, age, body size, the use of other drugs and dietary supplements (such as medicinal herbs )— the consumption of food (including beverages), the presence of diseases (such as kidney or liver disease),  and the development of tolerance and resistance.

I seem to have a high tolerance to some drugs and other ones I am resistant to.  Makes it difficulty in find medications that work for me for what my Dr. is treating.

Good Luck,

Kitt
