This is the official reason for the interaction:
http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...5-360,1115-648 SSRI drugs also increase bleeding risk: This is another search using Lexapro as a substitute: http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...13-565,705-360 It explains the bleeding risks. Wellbutrin may be an option for you since it does not affect serotonin. However, metabolism of Wellbutrin is affected, so lower doses may be used. (but the doctor may refuse to give this anyway with the interaction): http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...05-360,440-203 So 3 separate reasons for 3 separate antidepressants combined with Plavix. Tapering down with Prozac takes time, since it is a long acting drug in the body. Some doctors allow tryptophan OTC to help with this. But I don't know if that will affect the Plavix as well.
