Based on the information provided, there is no straightforward answer to whether it is safe to take Advil (ibuprofen) while on antidepressants, as it can depend on various factors such as the specific type of antidepressant, the dosage, and individual health conditions [2][3].

The NHS website states that certain antidepressants can interact with other medications, including painkillers, leading to increased risk of side effects [2]. However, it does not specifically mention Advil (ibuprofen) in this context.

The drugpatentwatch.com page for Advil does not contain information about interactions with antidepressants [1].

A research article from the University of Cambridge discusses the potential risks of combining antidepressants and painkillers, including increased risk of bleeding, but it does not provide specific advice regarding Advil and antidepressants [3].

Therefore, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before combining any medications, including Advil and antidepressants, to ensure safety and avoid potential adverse effects [2][3].
