For adults, the dosage ranges from 200 - 450 mg per day, in divided doses; the normal daily dose is 300 mg. This medication is not recommended for children under the age of 18 years.

Well, since nobody answered the question, I will assume those who know were successful in their attempt to commit suicide. This feels very sad. I have only one question now. Why is there no real mental health help?

That all depends on the medication. Different medicines used to treat bipolar are often used for many other purposes. Tegretol, for example, is sometimes prescribed for bipolar but is also used to treat certain kinds of headaches. Seroquel, as another popular example, is often used for sleep or for depression.

I wanted to know the same thing, I called the ask A nurse hotline and she told me that it should be just fine, so I took two tablets of the equate sudafed. If I have any bad reactions I will post it here. I take 300 mg no name brand wellbutrin a day.

I found the best answers for questions regarding medication differences were found in asking a local pharmacist. They are required to know more regarding the interaction and composition of medications with the body than doctors. Remember, generally speaking, doctors PRACTICE medicine. For specific comparison, you might want to check out http://www.antidepressentfacts.com. It seems to answer the exact question you are asking. As I understand it, one reduces the production, while the other inhibits the re-absorbtion of seratonin. Seratonin controls appetite, energy and mood. There is an extensive debate regarding the pros and cons of both levels of the inhibitors. Obviously, because I am not a physcian, I could not provide specific information, but another great source is the Prescription Drug Reference found at most book stores for about $8.00- it gives a more simple explaination of medications, there use and side effects. Hope this helps. SSRI's deal with serotonin; SNRI's deal with serotonin and norepinephrine. A psychiatrist or pharmacist can help tremendously to answer this question about the differences.

if you can't get help from social services then go to the book store and learn your own resources. they are out there trust me! you just need to ask. try the schools or churches or clinics or web sites search on mental health of children or children with mental health issues. Depending on your insurance status there are lots of services out there for you. If you have private insurance, contact them and obtain a list of participating providers and go from there. If you have Medi-Cal or public aid there should be county mental health agencies that can help you. Check with your child's school and see if they can refer your child. In california, children's mental health agencies work with schools and provide services there. Assistance and laws differ according to the state you live in, but there are agencies out there. Check your phone book and contact mental health clinics or hospitals and ask about community referrals. There is always your family doctor who could refer you for mental health services. Good luck to you and I wish you the best.

Answer:

Serotonin is a brain chemical (neurotransmitter) when at normal levels they create a sense of well being and contentment. It is also called a feel good hormone.

The deficiencies and imbalances that may be creating our feelings of depression and overwhelm, or feeling lack of energy or not being able to focus and violence.

This hormone or neurotransmitter affects emotional behavior and thought. This is why when there is a lack of serotonin you are most likely to fall in to serious depression. This lack may be caused by stress, poor diet uptake, exposure to toxic substances, Changes in your hormone levels can cause a change in serotonin levels. This is especially true for woman during their premenstrual cycles.

Check out the link below and take a test to see if you're deficient in these vital brain chemicals.

Bupropion is considered an antidepressant drug with stimulant effect. But it can't be classified as a "CNS stimulant".

Well, since Wellbutrin isn't a MAO inhibitor, it can be taken along with Celexa.

For many people, nightmares which occur while taking Wellbutrin will stop after they have been on the medication for a while. If the nightmares do not cease or are severe, the doctor will likely try the person on a different medication.

There are several habits to consider that are thought to influence Wellbutrin withdrawal. The amount of time the drug is taken, the dosage, individual physiology, and whether a person tapers is all can influence the time it takes for you to recover.

Yes and it can change over time.I've been on Wellbutrin XL for over 2 years and at first

it would make me feel like I'd had 5 cups of coffee..in the last 6 months , I get drowsy

30 minutes after I take it..only other side effecst that hasn't gone away over time

is ringimg in the ears.

Not a good idea. Both lower the seizure threshold, and depending on your dosage, and what types of steroids, your risk for a seizure could skyrocket.

No it should not.

I have taken these two together. Nothing deadly happened. But Tramadol has serious side effects and everyone reacts differently to different medications. Call you Dr or Pharmacist he/she would be able to better advise.

Generally, medications don't stop working. Sometimes the situation changes, and the medication is no longer the best option for treatment, and sometimes something as simple as a higher dose is necessary. I don't know what you consider to be not working, or how long you've been on the medication. Many people take wellbutrin for long periods of time (several years or more). If you feel your dose of wellbutrin is no longer effective, talk to your prescriber. The maximum daily dose is 450mg, anything higher than that can significantly increase your risk of seizures and other adverse effects, and has not been shown to be any more effective than the normal therapeutic doses. Good luck!!

yes, it'll get ya high but you have to take ALOOOT of it and your messing with your liver doing that. But if your looking at Bups to get high maybe it's time for a detox and treatment. Just saying

No, it is not recommended. Wellbutrin (bupropion) and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) are dangerous if taken together because this combination has been known to cause seizures (which can be fatal if not controlled).

As a daily dose, yes. The normal dose would be between 150mg and 300mg. 300mg is significantly more effective than 150mg. The maximum recommended dose is 450mg, because seizure risk increases significantly at 600mg.

A standard release pill is usually 75mg, but you would take 2 to 4 a day. The extended release pills are bigger, but that's because you can only take 1 or 2 a day because they take longer to absorb.
