Can Strattera cause death

Answer:

I am not entirely sure as to the definite effects of taking both of these two drugs.

However, I am not sure what the reason it is you are asking a question such as this since your doctor should've informed you on such.

But if that is not the case, I can tell you this, Risperdal is used mainly for the treatment of schizophrenia. I don't know exactly the reason in which you are taking both of these medications. But if you are schizophrenic, I wouldn't recommend taking Strattera unless of course the benefits overweigh the risks. Now, Risperdal is a powerful anti-psychotic, and works on two neurotransmitters in the brain (mostly dopamine but also serotonin) it does not work on the nuerotransmitters transporters that Strattera affects which are norepinephrines transporters. So I highly doubt taking both will kill you, however this can ultimately depend on the amount of each drug you are taking. If you are taking an appropriate dosage of each I wouldn't see this as anything life-threatening. But, Risperdal is also helpful for depression, so if that is why you're taking Strattera I don't see a point. Basically it is up to you to decide if you want to continue taking both of these drugs, but I don't see it necessary. It would be nice to know why you are taking both drugs in the first place, since they are entirely different medications. :) hope this helps***
