Brintellix and Escitalopram should only be used together if your doctor considers it necessary.
The combined use of preparations increases the risk of, for example, serotonin syndrome manifested, m.in, changes in blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. In the event that the doctor has recommended the combined use of preparations, the dosage recommendations and the intervals between them should be strictly followed. I encourage you to read our study on whether to be afraid of side effects of drugs:

In the event that medications have been prescribed by different doctors, I encourage you to repeat the consultation.
If you experience side effects similar to the symptoms of serotonin syndrome, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also use teleadvice via, for example, the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
