Hi, I take 20mg mtx and tramadol for flares (which I am in the middle of one right now ) However, I was diagnosed with mild depression (due to work, stress, family issues and obviously RA) the doctor prescribed prozac as i had been on this before for post natal depression. When I read the leaflet it says that you cannot take tramadol with the prozac, however, the doctor, never said this to me. I have researched it and it looks like I cant take both of them - has anyone ever taken both of them together???? Can you recommend other pain relief (difene does not touch the pain) please?????

Tina

Dear Tina,

It is always, always best to check with a DR however usually these leaflets cover everything and the medical profession cover themselves too....

I took Prozac for a while for post-natal depression many years ago (13!) and it was a wonder drug! there were some mornings I work almost euphoric....then I got pregnant again!

Love,

Amanda

Thanks for your answers - I think I will ring the doctor tomorrow and ask the question! I had post natal depression too and now 4 years later have had lots of low days and just need to get out of this low state - will be ok after christmas I think . Hope you all have a wonderful christmas!
