Hi,
This is what I had found on the net at drugdigest.com, past this info I have no idea.. Good Luck. ( i am sure there is someone on this sight that is combining the two, hopefully they will run into your question)


: potential interactions were found for the drugs you selected.

You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

PHENTERMINE may interact with SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE (in Zoloft)

Although the cause of this potential interaction is not clearly understood, sertraline may increase the effects of phentermine. This could cause an increase in side effects including irritability and depression, restlessness, and anxiety. Other more serious side effects include an increase in blood pressure, a rapid heart beat, and an abnormal heart rhythm. If sertraline and phentermine are used together, your doctor may want to monitor you closely for side effects and adjust the dose of either drug if needed. Discuss this potential interaction with your healthcare provider at your next appointment, or sooner if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered major in severity.

SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE (in Zoloft) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE

Sertraline is broken down in the body by the liver. Grapefruit may interfere with the liver’s ability to break down the sertraline, causing sertraline to remain in the body for a longer period of time. This could cause an increase in both the intended effect and the side effects of sertraline including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Patients taking sertraline may want to avoid any type of grapefruit including its juice, the fruit itself, and any supplements that may contain grapefruit. You may drink other types of juices with sertraline. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.
