Question 1

does sertraline work well with wellbutrin (bupropion)?

Accepted Answer

Common Combination: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is often added to other antidepressants (and vice versa) because it has unique properties--it's in a class by itself. Be sure to review the risks/benefits and alternatives with your prescriber.

Question 2

what type of disorder will my baby have if i am on sertraline and wellbutrin (bupropion) while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

See below: Use of psychotropic medications to manage mental health conditions in pregnancy is complex area of discussion. Medical literature has described fetal (teratogenic) risks associated with taking psychotropics as well as associated with untreated mental health conditions. Certain conditions & medications are associated with greater risk. Consider discussing the detailed risk/benefit with your doctor.

Question 3

ive been on sertraline 50mg for 5 years and wellbutrin (bupropion) 150mg for couple months together with the dosage do i need to worry about my serotonin levels?

Accepted Answer

No: They are low dosages. Wellbutrin (bupropion) should raise Serotonin minimally, so I doubt you have to be concerned about Serotonin syndrome.

Ok: There's no problem taking them on the schedule you're using. Caution must be exercised when wellbutrin (bupropion) and sertaline are used together as the combination can increase serotonin levels. I'm sure your prescriber monitors you for side effects.

Both of these are much less likely than most and in fact wt loss and loss of appetite is listed as a common side effect for both, but everybody is a little different. Might want to look at other possible factors such as residual depression.

Anxiety: Hi, it seems your anxiety is not well controlled on your current regimen, I suggest you see your Psychiatrist for evaluation and medication adjustment, also medical conditions like Hyperthyroidism should be looked into, also you need to have a therapist to help you deal with your anxiety, CBT could be very helpful in controlling your symptoms. Best of luck.
