Question 1

40 years old and have not had my period for 4 months. pregnancy test last month negative. my periods have been getting shorter and and a lot light before i stopped. over weight and diabetic high blood pressure ans take wellbutrin xl. no pain or sic?

Accepted Answer

: You have a number of medical issues and are at the age where yo may be perimenopausal. All these can affect menses. An examination by your physician is in order.

Question 2

if i am taking wellbutrin xl 150mg can i take adderall ?

Accepted Answer

: Check with your prescribing physician or pharmacist, but my reading doesn't recommend taking these together as increased levels of adderal can occur causing seizures or the dangerous  serotonin syndrome.

Question 3

is it okay to take tribulus terrestris while taking wellbutrin xl?

Accepted Answer

: Tribulus has been known to interact with heart and blood pressure medicines such as Beta-blockers, Digoxin, Calcium channel blockers, Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and Nitrates.
https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/tribulus-terrestris-uses-and-risks   Wellbutrin is not on this list.

Question 4

can you please compare/contrast effexor (venlafaxine) xr vs. wellbutrin xl?

Accepted Answer

Oranges and apples: Both antidepressants, Effexor (venlafaxine) and wellbutrin extended release are reliable and safe. But they have different mechanism of action. Different (and opposite) side effects, and adverse events. Indications are also different, and interactions. A more thorough comparison is not possible in 400 characters. Best wishes.

Question 5

is 300mg of wellbutrin xl daily and 40 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine) daily safe to take together?

Accepted Answer

Interaction: Although these 2 can be used together safely, caution is needed with the doses.  Wellbutrin can inhibit the metabolism of cymbalta, (duloxetine) causing its level to rise in your system.  Seizures are possible if doses are too high also.  Please discuss your concerns with your prescribing psychiatrist.

Question 6

if i have only been taking 150mg of wellbutrin xl, once a day for 3 weeks - can i just stop taking it? or is there a weaning?

Accepted Answer

: You can just stop it because you have used only 3 weeks.
In case of doubt, you can take q 2days for 2 days then q 3days for 2 days then stop.

Question 7

for rapidly weight lose  what medicines is ore effective wellbutrin xl or topamax (topiramate), (topiramate) can i use them same time or morning wellbutrin evening topamax (topiramate)?safe?

Accepted Answer

None Indicated: These medications ARE NOT meant to be used for weight loss and ARE NOT SAFEto be used for that indication. Rapid weight loss in itself is not safe.  
All medications have side effects, so should only be used when absolutely needed.  
If you wish to loose weight eat clean and exercise.  If you are significantly overweight surgery may be an option- talk to your physician.

Question 8

hi, is it safe to take wellbutrin xl 150 every other day- i am sensitive to the drug and it seems too strong. if so, is it okay to take it every third day? is moderate drinking okay in this prescriptive fashion? (either 2nd or 3rd day). thnx?

Accepted Answer

: Regarding the frequency of drug intake, talk to the doctor who prescribed it. It would be better to take half dose daily.
Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc.

Question 9

wellbutrin xl vs bupropion sr side effects?

Accepted Answer

Buproprion: Bupropion sr and wellbutrin (bupropion) xl are two different products with the same active antidepressant drug (buproprion) but they differ in the delivery rate in our system: the sr (slow release) and the xl (extra long). In my clinical experience, they are very similar, and the difference in side effect is the sleeplessness that could result from taking the xl formulation.

Question 10

i missed my morning wellbutrin xl 150mg dose, should i take it (it is 9:45pm) now or wait until tomorrow morning?

Accepted Answer

Welbutrin: It would be fine to wait and start fresh tomorrow.
