A cohort study on over 17,000 South Koreans with ADHD found that SSRIs are safe when taken with methylphenidate. Researchers found that ADHD patients are often affected by depression and can benefit from SSRI use. However, certain antidepressants should not be used with ADHD medications. The study showed that there were no significant differences in negative outcomes between those taking SSRIs with methylphenidate and those taking only methylphenidate. The researchers suggest monitoring blood pressure while taking both medications. Further research and monitoring are necessary to confirm these findings and ensure patient safety.
