Trazodone (the active ingredient in Trittico) does not belong to the group of tricyclic antidepressants. However, although rare, it can also interact with escitalopram (the active ingredient in Elicea) Using Trittico and Elicea together may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, which can manifest itself, for example, hallucinations, convulsions, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, chills and muscle tremors, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. If you experience any alarming symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. In addition, combining these drugs may increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm (a very rare side effect). People with heart disease are more susceptible. If the medications were prescribed by one doctor, they can be used together, as it is likely that the doctor has determined that this is the best treatment for the case and has taken appropriate precautions for possible complications.
