Not typically: Wellbutrin (bupropion) can cause seizures, which could be mistaken for tias.
Let your doctor know.

Question 2

my doc has prescribed me 1mg xanax, (alprazolam) 10mg lexapro and just added 150mg wellbutrin xl.  is this allowed? will this cause long term problems?!

Accepted Answer

Medication effects: I understand your concern.
Reflect on symptoms of Anxiety and Depression effect on your relationships, work and personal life; medication need for anxiety or depression; then discuss medication interactions, benefits and side effects; Therapy.

Wellbutrin with Lexapro may increase the risk of seizures.
 Using Xanax (alprazolam) with Lexapro may increase dizziness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

Question 3

is it okay to take a xanax (alprazolam) periodically while on wellbutrin?

Accepted Answer

Probably, but: There is some concern that individuals who take xanax (alprazolam) regularly w/ wellbutrin & abruptly stop the xanax (alprazolam) may increase seizure risk (esp if there is a history of  seizures).  Also, wellbutrin may reduce the effectiveness of xanax (alprazolam).  Occasional use is probably not associated with any significant interactions.  However, consult your doc since he/she is knows your situation best.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Wellbutrin (bupropion) can cause agitation and shakiness in some people -- but so can benzodiazepine withdrawal.  Please call your physician about your symptoms.  S/he can make the best recommendations for you.  Please do not take any medication which has not been prescribed specifically for you.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

With help: That is a very interactive combination of meds-changing one may affect how thee others work.  You need help from a professional, who can change one --review the effects--then change the next most appropriate one.  Usually a psychiatrist or family physician are the most appropriate for this.

Question 6

side effects of lexapro wellbutrin and xanax (alprazolam) together?

Accepted Answer

Low probability: There are the possibility of low probability side effects.  With respect to specific interactions, the most prominent thing to remember is that if you stop taking your xanax (alprazolam) suddenly while taking wellbutrin and Lexapro you may make it more likely that you would have a seizure.  You also may find operating a motor vehicle more challenging when taking xanax (alprazolam) with any medications.

Question 8

is it safe to take xanax (alprazolam) (1mg p/day) wellbutrin xl (150mg p/day) and lexapro (10mg p/day)?

Accepted Answer

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe &amp; hopeful to elevate your immune system.

Question 9

can you tell me about hydroxyzine or xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety while taking wellbutrin for despression?

Accepted Answer

These are ?'s: that you should be addressing to the physician who is prescribing the Wellbutrin. Also, bupropion is an "activating" antidepressant and may increase anxiety itself, so your doctor needs to know this is a problem for you. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that is mildly sedating and is ok for very occasional use. Your doctor needs to diagnose WHY you have anxiety to best treat it. I don't like Xanax (alprazolam).

Question 10

is it safe to take wellbutrin sr and xanax (alprazolam) together daily and can i take them at the same time? i'm also worried about my seizures. will i be ok?

Accepted Answer

Usually Ok: But you really need to have good communication with your prescribing doctor.  All drugs have risks and side effects.  All. But... Not taking meds has effects,  too! so,  you and your doctor need to with the pros and cons.
