I only took 150 mg once daily for less than 3 weeks. I had to stop taking it because I broke out in hives and my skin was itchy everywhere. If I haven't taken any since yesterday at noon, when would I be ok to have a glass of wine or some drinks?

To all you people accusing me of lying.. I do have hives. Don't believe me? I've been itchy all day and miserable. So **** you all. Second, my doctor ordered me to stop the meds. Third, I only want to know if I can have a glass of wine or two to celebrate my friend's wedding next week. **** you all.

A drink or two would be ok.. It just a caution that it could make the alcohol affect a little stronger.. It's not like a couple of drinks is going to make you fall in the floor drunk.. I took it to quit smoking for about 6 months and had a couple of drinks every now and then with no problem at all.

If you are smart you will take your meds and not miss the dose- you aren't suppose to miss them and don't drink. You do increase your chances of having problems. My husband takes WellButrin and even though he had a shot of vodka along with some energy drink in it and he was fine I don't suggest doing it. Why take the risk.

This is not particularly good advice, but my experience with drinking while still on Wellbutrin has been completely uneventful over the years, so I highly doubt you will have any problem once you are off of the meds. Obviously, drinking on meds is a bad idea...this is common knowledge. I'm just speaking from my personal experience here.

i guess that depends on why you were prescribed wellbutrin.
and.. did you stop taking it because of the hives ( fearing they were
a side effect) ? or did you stop taking it so you could resume drinking?. self medication is not a wise choice, and lets be honest
with yourself about (a) your wanting a drink so soon after "stopping"
wellbutrin, or (b) "breaking out into hives ..good cover ;)..
or (c) mabey you just weren't ready.. and thats O.K.
it's O.K. now take a deep cleansing breath and say' i need some time'. general rule of thumb would be 2 days abtinence per each day on this pharmicutical.If your intention was to quit smoking, try CHANTIX . good luck and God speed.

I would wait and check with your doctor. Wellbutrin is for depression and alcohol is a depressant I wouldn't suggest drinking at all

Discuss it with your doctor

answer this question, honestly, did you quit taking the meds so you could go back to drinking???? "To thine own self be true".
