@mammiecaro and @frouke - I believe she was writing in Dutch, saying the following translated to English:
I also take this combination. It makes me deathly ill and suicidal. I have an appointment at a specialized hospital next week. I am also a poor metabolizer of Cyp2C19 3a5, one of the reasons I cannot tolerate this medication.
Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, mammiecaro. That sounds like a rough time taking these medications. I hope they are able to prescribe you something alternative that will be effective for you. My person experience is that the road from one antidepressant/antianxiety medication to another can be an emotionally bumpy ride for a couple or more months, then things level out.
Are you hoping to be put on another medication combination instead, mammiecaro? If so, are you thinking of asking about any medications you've read about or heard about from others? Or are you hoping to do another type of treatment altogether?

@mammiecaro , I just wanted to know if you’re writing in Dutch? I was born in Amsterdam but left very young so I never learned to read and write but the language is familiar? I believe you are saying that the medication is making you very sick or rather a combination of the two drugs, you’re going to a specialized hospital. I hope that you get better soon with the help from the specialists, best wishes.
