Please don’t ever be afraid or reluctant to question your doctor. Always remember that you are paying them for advice and if you feel that your doctor is too busy or feels offended by a question then it is time to find another doctor. It is rare nowadays to find a doctor who asks about your family life, diet and you as a whole person. When you find one, they set a high bar that most doctors can’t meet due to the way our healthcare system is structured in 15 minute increments. I have heard of bupropion also being prescribed with Zoloft and they affectionately refer to it as “Welloft” so it is not an uncommon add-on especially if you are tapering down or off fluvoxamine. If you are having any concerning side effects, you can call your doctors office and ask for a call back from the nurse.

@parisaaxp could only advise research on over prescribing. If life style interventions work instead of too many pharmaceuticals it could be worthwhile. However I am a stickler for best care practices aka evidence based medicine. That means I do what my health care providers say. But we work together on a treatment plan..
