If I am taking Welbutrin to quit smoking but take prozac for pmdd, do I take just prozac for two weeks(4 pms)?

Answer 1

Call your doctor or your pharmacist with your questions. If your doctor knew about both antidepressants, then you should be fine, if not, then you need to talk about it!

(By the way to the other person, taking prozac for only 14 days at a time for PMDD is common)

Answer 2

You had better ask your doctor. Did you get these from two different doctors? I'm not sure if it is safe to take both or not. It's probably okay to quit taking one of them while you take the other, but I'm not really qualified to judge that either. It's better if you just talk to your doctor. If you can't get through to your doctor's office ask at the pharmacy where you get your medications.

I work in mental health, but I don't recall ever hearing of anybody taking Wellbutrin and Prozac at the same time.

Answer 3

If your doctor prescribed Wellbutrin knowing about the Prozac, do as directed. If the doc didn't know about the other antidepressant, get on the phone tomorrow, fess up, and get instructions. Btw, taking Prozac for two weeks a month makes absolutely no sense. It typically takes longer than that to start working. Whose pills are you taking? If that's your doc's instructions, go get another doc!!!

Answer 4

You need to ask your doctor about that. The Wellbutrin is better to help you quit smoking than prozac, but I don't know that they'd want you on both at the same time.

Answer 5

No I would only take the Welbutrin.

Answer 6

NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD HAVE YOU ON TWO ANTIDEPRESSENTS. THAT IS WHAT WELLBUTRIN IS. IT IS ANOTHER NAME FOR ZOLOFT IT IS JUST COVERED BY INSURANCE.
YOU NEED TO CALL THE DOCTOR AND ASK HIM. NOT SURE THE TWO CAN GO TOGETHER.
