seizures & Depression & anti-depressants

[teresal]

I was wondering if anyone takes an antidepressant along with their seizure medicine.And if so does it seem to help??

I think there are a few members who take anti-depressants, hopefully they will chime in. In the meantime, there are some threads below that might have helpful info:

I take Fluoxetine 20mg - this is the generic for Prozac.

I have this compounded.

I started taking extra fish oil and Primerose oil back in 2011.
I still take these along with the Fluoxetine.

These help me, I tried not taking anything else, but my depression gets so bad.
