A member asked:

Will i gain weight taking 150 mg a day of bupropion xl and 30 mg of fluoxetine?

Dr. Alan Koenigsberg answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Probably not: The two medications you mention rarely induce weight gain. In fact, bupropion is one of the ingredients in a new FDA approved medication for weight loss. I have never had a single patient in my practice gain weight taking fluoxetine.

I'm currently taking 20mg fluoxetine and 150mg bupropion XL daily. I was just prescribed 36mg methylphenidate XR (Concerta). I've taken this before, just not with this exact regimen. Is the contraindication on these drugs something to worry about?
