~~welbutrin and xanax  (pronounced zanax) are not the same drug... \n\nxanax is a tranquilizer, and welbutrin is an antidepressant that is also used to help people stop smoking\n\nGENERIC NAME: bupropion \nBRAND NAME: Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Zyban\nDRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Bupropion is an antidepressant medication that affects chemicals within the brain that nerves use to send messages to each other. These chemical messengers are called neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters that are released by nerves are taken up again by the nerves that release them for reuse. (This is referred to as reuptake.) Many experts believe that depression is caused by an imbalance among the amounts of neurotransmitters that are released. Bupropion is unrelated to other antidepressants. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, an action which results in more dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine to transmit messages to other nerves. Bupropion is unique in that its major effect is on dopamine, an effect which is not shared by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs (e.g. paroxetine, Paxil; fluoxetine, Prozac; sertraline, Zoloft) or the tricyclic antidepressants or TCAs (e.g. amitriptyline, Elavil; imipramine, Tofranil; desipramine, Norpramin).\n\nPRESCRIPTION: Yes\n\nalprazolam (brand name: Xanax)-A benzodiazepine sedative that causes dose-related depression of the central nervous system. Alprazolam is useful in treating anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and muscle spasms. Generic is available.\n\nPRESCRIPTION: Yes~~

I've tried zoloft but I can't take that because I stay in bed all day and I naturally have a temper but have learned to control it. But when I take zoloft I stay grouchy and on the edge. I've also tried Wellbutrin-XL. And the Wellbutrin works for me. It doesn't make me sleep all day or grouchy. I'm always in a good mood and can deal with everyday life and problems. I'm not as stressed for no reason. I'm more sociable. One of my friends was taking paxil for years. And the last year he took the paxil it didn't help out any so his doctor switched him to Cymbalta. And I tell you what he's like a whole new person. Cymbalta is a antidepressant and pain killer combined. He says it works he's not depressed lately or grouchy he's more open minded to things again and it also got rid of his pain from being depressed. You might have to try 1 antidepressant or you might have to try 3 or 4 different kinds until you find the one that's rite for you.

Bupropion Hydrochloride is sold under the brand names Wellbutrin and Zyban. It works differently than many other antidepressants and often reduces appetite or causes drymouth as a side effect ( it is also used to help some people quit smoking). \n\nIt is chemically unrelated to tricyclics or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Instead it functions as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. For this reason, it often works on people who have had no luck with Zoloft/Paxil/Prozac and other similar drugs. \n\nI have had very good experience with it after no luck with Zoloft, having lost weight when i first went on it. The worst side effect I have is mild to moderate dry mouth , which is handled by drinking more water, which I need anyway.

Hello,\n\n  I have taken many anti-dep and have taken along time to find one that fits all my needs. I had a really hard time sexually when on prozac and zoloft, etc. I let my new doc know the problem was affecting my life and he suggested Wellbutrin. So I take a smaller dose of lexapro for the depression because you can only take so much wellbutrin. Then I take a dosage of Wellbutrin to help take the sexual side affects away, which also helps with depression. That changed my life taking both drugs together!!! Been taken them for over 4 yrs. now and I thank my doc all the time! My sex drive is actually usually in over drive now :)

They are both related to the imbalance of serotonin in your brain. Thus similar medications treat both.\n\n"An organic compound, C10H12N2O, formed from tryptophan and found in animal and human tissue, especially the brain, blood serum, and gastric mucous membranes, and active as a neurotransmitter and in vasoconstriction, stimulation of the smooth muscles, and regulation of cyclic body processes."

I am on Zyban (Wellbutrin SR 150 milligrams twice a day) and I found that it has helped me quit smoking in the past.  However, when I stopped taking it, I started smoking again.  It definitely made me calmer and less agitated, but for the first few weeks, I had insomnia (which is a side effect).  I started smoking again, but will use it again to quit.  I am not sure how effective it is the second (or third, or fourth) time around. :) I don't know if you build a tolerance to it or not.  I hope this helps!

Both drugs are once-daily alpha blockers for increasing urine flow for patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).  While they are in the same class of drugs, they definitely have different chemical makeups.  \n\nHowever, what's probably most important to a patient is which drug is efficacious and which is safe.  There is nothing that would suggest one drug is more effective than the other, but based on the official clinical trial data, Uroxatral seems to have a far lower rate of side effects than Flomax.  Just for example, Uroxatral reported that 5.7% of patients on the drug experienced dizziness, whereas Flomax had 14.9%.  \n\nIt is important to note that different drugs work differently in some people, so someone may take both drugs and have dizziness from Uroxatral but no dizziness from Flomax.  It is important to talk to your physician or urologist about which drug may be best for you.  Best of luck.

I did without even trying, I'm on wellbutrin xl 300mg. I was put on it for depression, but the longer I took it the less I wanted to smoke. I didn't have nearly as many cravings and when I did smoked it made me wanna be sick.

Any time that you swith medications in the psychotropics category,it is a difficult transition. First you have to completely go off the Celexa,which is hard to do,because it is an addictive medication. It is in the drug class of SSRI's. Wellbutrin is in a different category of drugs,that treats different symptoms than the celexa does.\nI will tell you that it is not impossible to do,but it is not going to be easy.\nMake sure that you are in contact with your physician,if you need to make this transition. It is also helpful,when swithching meds to see a good Psychologist,as they can help you through therapy and advise you on many issues such as the feelings you will be experiencing. Good luck to you. Zoya.

Registered Nurse here; Yes it is safe, providing the two medications named above where prescribed for the person taking them.  Also if one if not allergic to Ciprofloxacin or Wellbutrin XL, the combination of the two are completely safe taken together.  Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.  One is an antibiotic, the other Wellbutrin as I'm sure you know is an antidepressant.  The combo doesn't share any of the same chemical chain.
