Advice please - anyone know if I can take my celexa and an appetite suppressant like phentermine at the same time? I need to loose over 100lbs so I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

Here's some info on celexa:

And info on appetitie-suppressants:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202069.html
Below is a cut & paste on some drug-interactions from the above article. Overall, it sounds as though combining these two different compounds could be dangerous.
"Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline [e.g., Elavil], amoxapine [e.g., Asendin], clomipramine [e.g., Anafranil], desipramine [e.g., Pertofrane], doxepin [e.g., Sinequan], imipramine [e.g., Tofranil], nortriptyline [e.g., Aventyl], protriptyline [e.g., Vivactil], trimipramine [e.g., Surmontil])
— Using these medicines with sympathomimetic appetite suppressants may cause high blood pressure or irregular heartbeat."
