No, it's one or the other and they are the same medication, different names. I strongly wouldn't advise it, nor can I imagine the repercussions of trying such a thing. They are both for chemical imbalance of your brain and are to be supervised under
Dr.s supervision. I can't understand why you'd want to use both,
if one isn't strong enough ask to have Dr. anti it or if the one r on
isn't working switch to another that may help better ok.
All the Best,

They are both Seratonin boosters (Seratonin reuptake inhibitors) and should not be taekn together. It would be like taking advil and Tylenol together for pain. You need to find out which works for you and have your doctor increse the dose if needed but not by pairing it with another antidepressant.

Thats an answer only ur doc or pharmisist can answer. not us. as for my opinion the more meds a person is on the worse people are. low doses and cognitive recovery are the key.

They're both SSRIs.
That's how Anna Nicole Smith's son died. He mixed two SSRIs and methadone.
