Hi,

Please help. I have been advised to take 2.5 Predisone due to low cortisol and ACTH levels. Is it safe to take these at the same time as levothyroxine and antidepresents? ..........I am a bit uncertain as to the long term effect of taking Predisone.........?

It is usually recommended if we take levothyroxine that other medications/supplements are taken 4 hours apart.

This is an excerpt and I think you should check with doctor about Prednisone and Anti-depressants.

What are the possible food and drug interactions associated with this medication?

If prednisone is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. Prednisone may interact with numerous medications. Therefore, it is very important that you tell your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking.
