A member asked:

Can i take nyquil or advil (ibuprofen) pm occasionally while on bupropion to help me sleep?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: It contains an antihistamine which is mildly sedating, and should not interact with the bupropion in usual doses. You should, however, let your doctor know you are having problems with sleep (very common with bupropion) and that you are using the other products.

OK: Shouldn't be a problem if you stick to recommended doses.
