Can you answer luv4ethanc’s question about Depression?:

Over the years I have been on anti depressants and have, I feel, gained weight because of them. I have started noticing all of these commercials for weight loss such as Lipoprene. Does anyone know if it is safe to take both antidepressants and weight pills together?

    Depression Feedback: I checked with my doc, I am taking antidepressants and the doctor said, not a problem just not to take more than 2 daily, and to take them at least 2 hours after or before taking antidepressants. So I take the “get happy pills” at about 9pm but I take my “get thin” pills at 8 am and again at 4 pm. Just take them to your doc and see what they say, I think it depends if your other happy pills are MAOI’s

    Depression Feedback: Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what’s best for you. I really want to help but I don’t think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.

    good luck

    Love is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
