Is it safe to take Seroxat along with Rivotril?
human
85 year old lady. Vascular Dementia. Taking Seroxat (20 mg) for depression since 4 years. Due to sudden onset of leg and arm trembling for few days, her doctor recommended Rivotril tabs 0.5 mg at night. She s already taking daily doese of Keppra 500mg, lunch time. Are there any contraindications in those 3 meds? I am her son, and I do read alot of medical literature on the web. My only concern here, is why the doctor didn t remove Seroxat all together from her regimen, since Rivotril - as far as I am aware - has similar relaxing, antidepressant effects as Seroxat! Thank you.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicRivotril contains clonzepam and it is a benzodiazepine. It is not a antidepressant like seroxat(paroxetine). You can give these drugs with Keppra. There is no major drug interaction between the three. You can give them together. With them, she would stay better. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
