drug combination...?

Question

Can the drug Celexa and the drug Wellbutrin be taken together?

I am taking 20 mgs of the Celexa and wish to take 300 mg of the Wellbutrin.

If you have taken these together, have you had side effects?

Appreciate your input..

Answer 1

I recommend you to ask your doctor, how can someone you don't know here is going to recommend something that could cause harm to you?..☺

Answer 2

You could experience an increase in drowsiness in the beginning of therapy b y combining the two. Wellbutrin is also known to lower the seizure threshold so if you have sz or are predisposed to them its not the best therapy to use. Thats being said, i have hundreds of patients that use wellbutrin and other antidepresants without adverse effects

Answer 3

I suggest you go see your pharmacist. They'll be able to tell you if there are any drug interactions and what side effects you should be concerned with. The pharmacist may need a short patient history as well to make sure the drug combination is alright.

Answer 4

Seems to me like a double negative.....which would either cancel eachother out or produce toxicity or complications of unknown sort?...THEY ARE BOTH ANTI-DEPRESSANTS......so, why take two anti dp's?
I am thoroughly against Wellbutrin, I believe it is bad news. Have a chemical reaction with WB and regardless...it did not do its job, in my oppinion.
I took Celexa for PPD after my 2nd child, it worked really well.

I just dont think you should be taking two different types of anti-depressants. I dont understand why a dc would prescribe that?
It does not seem safe to me, I would not do it if I were you. Talk to a dc.

Answer 5

One of the best sources to ask is your pharmacist. They are knowledgable about the drugs, and have software that can help identify drug-drug and food-drug interactions.

You will find a pharmacist a great asset for your knowledge library.
