No, It is extremely risky to take Suboxone and Wellbutrin together. Wellbutrin (bupropion) is associated with dose-related seizure risk, Suboxone (buprenorphine/ naloxone) can increase that risk.

Doctors do at times prescribe these drugs together, but when they do, close monitoring is recommended.

Of course if you ever have problems you should always tell your doctor, but yes, you can take both together.

For those of us in Pain Management, depression is just a fact of life. Most people in the early stages of formal pain programs are required to undergo counseling, and many who are depressed use this combination of drugs quite often. I myself have used them together in the past.

Wellbutrin can cause some pretty wild dreams though - it's worth it to keep a notebook by your bed so that you can write them down when you wake up before they disappear from your conscious mind.

Can you take suboxone and pristiq at the same time?

You can, however it is not recommended. Pristiq is an inhibitor and prevents the Buprenorphine (active ingredient in Suboxone) from working as well as it should. Buprenorphine is broken down in the liver and the inhibiting action of Pristiq prevents the liver from doing its job in breaking Buprenorphine down. This is referred to as a "Side by Side Effect" of taking the two drugs at the same time. It's sad to say, but a lot of Buprenorphine Certified Physicians are completely unaware of this. Pristiq is not the only drug that will do this. Others include (but not limited to) Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, Lexapro & Celexa are all SSRIs, and Pristiq is an SNRI as is Cymbalta. You should discuss your Suboxone and Pristiq treatment with a qualified physician that is knowledgeable in the pharmacology and side by side effects of these two drugs to determine if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of taking these two drugs at the same time.
