At the outset, it should be noted that the drugs mentioned in the question: Anafranil (clomipramine), Valium (diazepam) and Sitralin (sertraline) are prescription, so the legitimacy and need to combine them in therapy should be determined by a doctor. This combination of drugs can be used, but you should strictly follow your doctor's instructions and observe your body's reactions.
Anafranil (clomipramine) is a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. Valium (diazepam) belongs to the benzodiazepine group and is used to treat anxiety. Sitrralin, on the other hand, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), also used to treat depression and anxiety disorders.
Combining these drugs can lead to an increased risk of serotonin syndrome - a potentially dangerous condition resulting from an excess of serotonin in the body. You may also feel excessive sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, thinking, and judging the situation. The use of these drugs at the same time may cause an increase in mutual side effects.
In this situation, please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and observe your body's reactions. If these reactions worsen or if you experience any other disturbing symptoms - please contact your doctor.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
