Hello, I am currently taking 150mg of Zoloft daily for depression and am looking into starting OxyElite Pro to help with my weight loss goals for my upcoming wedding in 2013. I have seen some discussion on interactions and am wondering if it is safe to take both?
Hi, It is not safe to take Elite while on Zoloft. Oxyelite-pro contains an antidepressant fluoxetine. Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor commonly prescribed for treatment of depression, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other conditions. Taking fluoxetine while on sertraline can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) that may be serious and potentially life-threatening. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syn Chat Doctor.  In view of the above, it is better to avoid taking Elite while on Zoloft. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
