    Tysabri and medications to treat symptoms

    So I went to take the JVC virus test. We'll see... If I am able to do this medication can other medications to treat symptoms of MS still be given? How much does Tysabri effect the liver? I need to take celexa for all the stress and anxiety I'm feeling along with new found depression . I'm not handling this diagnosis well at all. I need to know can I take other medications with Ty?

    If I were you, I'd be asking my doctor all the questions. Or google TY and call drug people directly.

    Good luck

        As a general rule, yes. I take 3 other neds to manage symptoms. Drugs you can't take are other immune suppressants like steroids, che no, etc.

        But for specific drug interaction, check with you doctor, pharmacist, and the medscape link provided.

          Tysabri and other meds

          Hi Shel67

          Definitely check drug interactions and check with doctor, but there should not be a problem. I'm on a bunch of meds and Tysabri. (escitalopram, zolpidem, lorazapram).
