@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?

@lisalucier I was barely able to make out what she was saying, I did get the basic idea but not enough to help her, also I didn’t realize that translation was available, I’ve only seen it with Spanish, thank you for letting me know.
