To be on the safe side, I would ask your doctor.  Unless you can find a licensed physician on here answering medical questions for free, you're really taking your health and well-being into a risk zone by obtaining medical advice from possibly untrained people on the internet.  Plus, your doctor will not only know how those two drugs would react to each other but, how they may react to anything else you are taking and how they will effect you for he/she should be well versed on your the condition of your health and the medications you may already be taking or have used in the past.

I have been on Wellbutrin XL for about 3 years now, and I haven't experienced any hot flashes. I checked on their website and sweating is a side effect possible with it. I would discuss it with my doctor if it is disturbing your daily life.

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 :)

To get a 100% correct answer to this you MUST talk to an MD. Everyone is different, but with that said...I know of a teenager who is taking both wellbutrin and aderol at the same time. They CAN and ARE  prescribed together. But again, the individual MUST talk to an MD.

Let me first say that ANY anti-depressant can become ineffective over time. HOWEVER, this dosage of Wellbutrin is NOT a therapeutic dose BY ITSELF. If the depression is worsening, it most likely is the DOSE and NOT the Wellbutrin....and, Wellbutrin XR is superior to regular Wellbutrin.

I do not take Wellbutrin but I do work with people who have mental illness and do know from experience that your body will grow amuned to any type of drug and sometimes an increase is need or a total change is needed. Speak with your psychiatrist and have him decide what would be best for you. Good Luck and don't give up

I have taken both and find that wellbutrin xl does nothing for anxiety however for fatigue does wonders, so much that  i can not sleep at night.  Lexapro will be excellent for anxiety, lexapro is a ssri, which is just seretonin which addresses ocd and anxiety, Wellbutrin addresses dopamine and norepinephrine which addresses fatigue and lethargy.  I am a bit confused as to your question.\n\none of the reasons the dr. would be prescribing wellbutrin is to offset the side effects of ssri lexapro and to offset the weight gain and the sexual side effects.

Try Wellbutrin XL, got of the other Zoloft b/c of the same thing, and the new med works good. Just keep an eye on it and switch slowly, reducing one while adding the other.

No, Aderall and Ritalin cannot be used for meth withdrawls.  They're amphetamine based drugs so to prescribe them is compounding the problem.  \n\nCheck your local listings for drug treatment centers and see if they have an outpatient treatment program.  They'd be the best people to tell you if there are any drugs that can be prescribed for withdrawls.\n\nAlso, check your local Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous chapters for meetings and get yourself to one pronto.  They're the best people and there are many online meetings if you don't choose to go to one in person.\n\nIf you need to, feel free to email me with any recovery related questions and I'll point you in the right direction.  My email is the same as the Yahoo ID I'm using here.

No problems, I think that they would be fine together.\n\nIn the rare instance that Adderall makes you sleepy, the hydrocodone can increase that effect.\n\nIf the hydrocodone is in combination with APAP or acetaminophen (as in vicodin or lortab,...) don't take tylenol, which is the same thing, with it though unless you ask the dentist who prescribed it.

I've been on Wellbutrin 300mg daily for at least a year now.  I haven't gained any weight...or lost any for that matter.  I'm just as nympho as ever!

Taking ANY prescription meds not intended for YOUR use is not safe. Adderal is a controlled substance, since it can be addictive. \nuses it.\n\nIt is definitely NOT safe to take Adderall if you have any preexisiting medical conditions (heart problems, epilepsy, e.g) OR if you're taking medications for other health problems without checking with a dr first. Meds could interact and make you very sick, or even kill you. You could have an allergic reaction to it and that could make you sick or kill you as well. \n\nI'm NOT downplaying Adderall or those who use it. It is probably safe when used as directed under a doctor's care. But if you were not the intended patient, why risk your life taking it? Why risk addiction? There are people who have suffered SERIOUS heart problems and died while taking it.\n\nNo drug is 100% safe. There can be side effects and health risks to everyone. Remember it is illegal to take it or possess it without a valid medical prescription! \n\nThe link below speaks more in detail about Adderall.

I think you do have ADD. go to your Dr. tell them the same info. try the med. if you don't like the effects of the med. discontinue using it and try something else.(if you tell the Dr. the same story your sure to get the med.)

I have been on and off soo many different medications over the past 7 years, Wellbutrin being one.  The first time around that I took wellbutrin it did wonders for me and I had no side effects except maybe a little weight loss.  I took it for depression and it also helped with ADHD.  It wasn't an immediate difference that made me all of a sudden happy about life but it hit me all at once along the way and i looked back and realized how much wellbutrin had helped me.  I was happy.  I was positive (which you have to take part in trying to get that mindset) and I noticed I hadn't been sad/down or upset about anything in months.  It was one of my favorite and most successful medications.\n  .....I eventually came off of it (b/c Dr. felt it wasnt needed since i was happy and content) and went back on and off other drugs later on when I fell back into depression.  This past year I tried Wellbutrin XL (there is a difference) and it had no effect on me at all, which was obviously no help at all.\n\nZoloft and Paxil I have heard positives AND negatives about.  They are both under the same category SSRI's and so they are both very similar in how they work and you'll most likely have similar side effects from both.  Prozac is also in the same category and in my own personal experience, I will NEVER take another drug in that category because it did exactly the opposite of what it was supposed to.  It really jsut depends on the person tho.  Its trial and error and everyones body reacts differently to different drugs.  \n\nI would lean towards the wellbutrin for you though....especially if you havent ever been on an antidepressant.  also, ive heard more negatives from other and worse side effects from zoloft and paxil.  Wellbutrin tends to not have much of any after the first 2 days (and i only had nausea).  Just dont take it on an empty stomach.  and if anything, instead of a decrease in sex drive like most other antidepressants, ive heard many stories of an increase in it from wellbutrin!  (always a plus).  Good luck!

I started Wellbutrin XL a week ago and have been having side effects on and off. One day I feel great, the next day I feel lousy (both physically and emotionally). However, overall the side effects have been diminishing and my mood has improved slightly (though this could still be the placebo effect). As many others have commented, every medication affects people differently. \n\nOne important thing to remember is that Wellbutrin is an atypical anti-depressant, as it works on ONLY norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake. Many people in Yahoo answers have given differing responses as to the mechanisms for Wellbutrin. \nLexapro is an SSRI and works primarily on seratonin. \n\nThis is an educated guess, but most likely your symptoms are a result of your withdrawal from the Lexapro rather than your new Wellbutrin regimen. SSRI's (Lexapro, Celexa, etc) tend to have relatively severe withdrawal symptoms in a great number of individuals. Nonetheless, Wellbutrin has also been known to cause many of the symptoms you've described, so that's probably an added factor.\n\nMy advice is to stick out the Wellbutrin. It is NOT advisable to skip doses of anti-depressants. If after another two weeks you continue to have unbearable side-effects, you should then consult your doctor about trying a new medication. \n\nAs always, the advice of your doctor should be followed first and foremost. However, I will say that many general practitioners are NOT aware of much of the literature published on these drugs. Doing your own research on these medications is highly advisable.

The neurontin is only as good as how their body will adapt to it.  It also depends on of this person takes his/her medince is prescribed.   It's like any other Rx med, some work great for some people,  some don't.  What is your friend saying about this med, or is he/she going on it & want some advice?   It does work, but it has to be taken as Rx daily.  It can be effective, but like any drug will have side effects.  There are newer drugs out today, if this person has tried them all, then maybe Neurontin is the way to go, if not they can try Lexapro, or Wellbutrin.   I hope this helped some, but calls some local Psychiatrists in your area, they can be a BIG help......A social workin' girl:)
