Can you take Wellbutrin and Fioricet headache medicine together?

The simple answer is NO, you shouldn't.Excessive use or abrupt discontinuation of barbiturates and other sedatives after chronic ingestion may precipitate seizures in patients receiving Wellbutrin. Theoretically, barbiturates like Wellbutrin may also decrease the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of Wellbutrin due to induction of hepatic CYP450 isoenzymes.The pharmacological response to Wellbutrin should be monitored more closely whenever a barbiturate is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the Wellbutrin dosage adjusted as necessary. Although barbiturates and other sedatives may be prescribed to treat agitation, anxiety, and insomnia associated with Wellbutrin use, patients should be alerted to the possibility of an increased risk of seizures during excessive exposure to these drugs. Patients should not attempt to alter the dosages or discontinue the medications on their own without consulting with your physician. The use of bupropion is contraindicated in patients undergoing abrupt discontinuation of sedatives.

Because both of these medications (an activating antidepressant and a stimulant diet aid) have a stimulant effect on the body, there is a greater possibility of faster heartbeat, palpitations, high blood pressure; as well as teeth grinding and insomnia when these are used together.Yes, siezures. I had the same thing..adipex and wellbutrin..causes seizures together.. check with your doctor and see if you got the correct dosages of each..where as again it can cause seizures.


What are the effects of combining Wellbutrin with seroquel?

Yes you can. I take 400 mg seroquel and 300 mg bupropion daily and I feel fine. However, both medications lower the threshold for seizures. When you take them together, this means that the chance that you will have an epileptic seizure will be bigger. Be careful with alcohol.


Can you take Wellbutrin Prozac and Ritalin at the time?

Consult a doctor first!The use of Wellbutrin is associated with a dose-related risk of seizures. The estimated incidence of seizures is approximately 0.1% at dosages up to 300 mg/day and 0.4% at dosages between 300 to 450 mg/day, but increases almost tenfold between 450 mg and 600 mg/day. The risk may also be increased during coadministration with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac.I'm unsure how Ritalin would mix with all this.
