Accepted Answer

Please talk w/ Doc: It is really important that you trust and work well w/ your provider - let this be a way to start a discussion. Ask to be reassured about the method of changing drugs and try to ask all the questions you have - why? what to expect? what to watch for and report? You need to function like partners - if you need to find another - start looking, interviewing. It's worth it, really! Good luck.

Question 7

i took my last 10mg buspar (buspirone) 24 hours ago im being switched to zoloft 50mg with wellbutrin xl 150 is it safe to start zoloft now? or wait a day?

Accepted Answer

Safe?: I'd seek a clarification consult w/ the provider about this entire plan. There are serious potential interaction risks w/ Zoloft and Wellbutrin (bupropion) xl. The doctor needs to watch you closely. You need to know what to report. I'd also urge you to consider adding CBT therapy - research consistently finds best results when that is a strong component (no side effects at all! no BP danger!). Glad you care.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

See doctot: Need more information please the best thing to do is to return to the prescribing doctor and discuss your symptoms.

Question 9

what effect can weed have on wellbutrin (bupropion) and zoloft?

Accepted Answer

Probably not good.: A fully informed answer can't be given, if only because "weed" is not standardized in the way that Wellbutrin (bupropion) and Zoloft are. But the concerns are: direct or indirect interference with the pharmacodynamics and phramcokinetics of the medicines; continuation of the underlying problems by virtue of avoidance or addiction. On the other hand, some people use it and still benefit from the meds

Question 10

what the good dose of wellbutrin (bupropion) xl to add to zoloft 50mg?

Accepted Answer

Variable.: That is very individual. If there is an atypical component to depression - I usually start with wellbutrin (bupropion) SR 100mg and increase dose by about 50mg every four days - titrate to response and side effects. I switch over to wellbutrin (bupropion) XL - after we have reached goal dose.
