How long after stopping Lexapro can you drink alcohol?
Drinking while taking Wellbutrin isn't dangerous per se - Wellbutrin just amplifies the effects of alcohol. I take Wellbutrin and drink and nothing bad has happened to me, but I do need to drink less. If you're still concerned, Wellbutrin has a half-life of ~21 hours, so it will be mostly cleared from your body in 2 or 3 days. I haven't found any difficulties with drinking alcohol on Wellbutrin, although I am only on 150 mg daily. I've read that it increases risk of seizures, which is higher with Wellbutrin as it is. Just be careful about how much you drink, I would say, or even better -- ask your doctor. _______________________________________________________________ I believe that the above information is incorrect. My pharmacist told me and I've read online that when you drink alcohol while on wellbutrin it empties the stores of wellbutrin that youre body/brain has accumulated since you started. Many people go into wellbutrin withdrawal after they drink and feel really bad for days or weeks. Ive been through it, its HORRIBLE.

Tmoxicillin slows down the metabolism rate of wellbutrin. That means that after a while of taking both of them, there becomes a buildup of wellbutrin in your system and this can cause problems or in my case a seizure on the 10th day of taking them both. Bad idea.

"It is possible that Wellbutrin may increase the effects of alcohol, whether by increasing the symptoms of depression or affecting motor skills.

Make sure to talk with your healthcare provider about Wellbutrin and alcohol." Information from: http://depression.emedtv.com/wellbutrin/wellbutrin-and-alcohol.html -kRonikk
How does drinking effect seizures?
Alcohol increases the chance of seizures, both while you are drinking and especially when you are sobering up. Chronic alcoholics have an especially hard time of it during detox, which is why we recommend a medically-supervised detox from alcohol or tranquilizers (which have much the same effect).
