'''Care should be taken if used in conjunction with any of the following drugs, which may interact and cause adverse effects:'''
*Fluoxetine should not be given at the same time as drugs which lower seizure threshold eg. phenothiazines such as acepromazine or chlorpromazine.
*Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), or within a period of 2 weeks after discontinuation of treatment with a MAOI due to the risk of serotonin syndrome<ref>Brown, T.M., Skop, B.P., Mareth, T.R., 1996. Pathophysiology and management of the serotonin syndrome. The Annals of Pharmacotherapy 30, 527–533.</ref>
*Fluoxetine has not been evaluated with drugs that affect the cytochrome P450 enzyme, care should therefore be taken with any drug that affects the enzyme system eg. ketoconazole.
===Serotonin syndrome===
If an SRI, SSRI or TCA is overdosed or combined with another serotonergic drug (see above) an increased level of sedation and adverse effects will be observed. There is also the possibility of serotonin syndrome, especially if one of these drugs is given with an MAOI (e.g. selegiline). Signs include:
*Gastrointestinal distress
*Gastrointestinal distress
*Head pain
