What are the effects of combining Strattera with Wellbutrin Prozac Depakote and low dose Seroquel with occasional Xanax for panic?

You really need to make an appointment with your doctor soon have a sit down talk with them about all the meds you are on. Make a list of everything you take, even vitamins, and how much, as well as how often. Some of the things you listed have known interactions, and they need to be brought to his attention. Be sure that he feels the benefits outweigh the risks. It is strongly suggested that you talk to your doctor. Wellbutrin and Strattera are two that are known to have issues. Wellbutrin inhibits the hepatic CYP450 (3b) that metabolizes Strattera. The thing that breaks down the Strattera in your body is inhibited by Wellbutrin. This means that your body won't break down the drug as fast and you will have higher doses. This could lead to many liver problems, including sweating. While this is absolutely true, Prozac (fluoxetine) and Paxil (paroxetine) tend to do this as well, and they have successfully been used in combination with Strattera in the past. Strattera is metabolized by another enzyme pathway when CYP3D6 is not available in big enough numbers. Last research I found on the subject on google scholar was that the average dose had to be dropped by 10 mg/ day on average after inhibition of CYP3D6.

What are the effects of combining Wellbutrin-450 mg Prozac-10mg Depakote-1000mg Xanax-.5mg and Klonopin-.5mg daily?

It should be fine. Wellbutrin is commonly combined with ssri's like Prozac to augment them in the case of treatment resistant depression, and depakote xanax and klonopin all affect a different neurotransmitter system. I was on wellbutrin 300 mg, lexapro (an ssri) 10 mg and depakote at one point and was fine. Check with your doctor and check in a drug interaction checker like on webmd. But it seems redunant and possibley dangerous combining xanax and klonopin as they are both in the same drug class and depakote effects the same neurotransmitter system, GABA, as xanax and klonopin. Especially at the 1000mg dose it doesn't seem like the xanax and klonopin are needed. Too much GABA activity can cause brain damage and lower your blood pressure to dangerous lows possibley causing death. Again check with your doctor.


Is it safe to take Prozac with Strattera?

Neither Prozac nor Strattera are uppers or downers. Prozac works on serotonin, and Strattera works on norepinephrine, two of our brain cocktails. Both drugs level out their respective neurotransmitters; nothing is added or removed, just made to work more efficiently. Prozac may inhibit some of the activity by Strattera; as for being safe, however, this is for a doctor to decide and monitor. Each case is different.

Can you mix Wellbutrin and Prozac?

Both Prozac and Wellbutrin are treatments for depression. Although there are hardly any clinical trials, if any, evaluating response and side effects of the combination therapy some psychiatrists believe the two medications can better handle different components of depression (such as anxiety). Since this is based on personal experiences, not actual systematic testing there is no reliable data on interactions between the two drugs, efficacy or safety.

Can you take 20mg of Prozac with Wellbutrin 300mg?

Yes, they can be taken together, but talk to your doctor about the side effects first, because the risk of seizures is greatly increased and sometimes outweighs the benefits.


Has the use of Straterra for bipolar disorder been investigated?

My brother has a pretty severe case of bipolar, he started taking strattera and it really didn't have bad effects on him, when he started taking Prozac with it, he had an emotional break down and attempted to stab himself with a pretty thick knife and the blade broke on his chest, he's now in a mental hospital for 3 months I recommend not taking strattera with a bipolar person or depressed person unless it's monitered because my brother isn't the only person I know of who had terrible effects.
