Interactions

Wellbutrin may interact with other drugs, supplements, and herbal products you may be taking. When a substance modifies how a drug functions, there is an interaction. This could be harmful or stop the medication from working properly.

All other antidepressants you are taking, such as Celexa, Cymbalta, Desyrel, Effexor, Lexapro, Luvox, Oleptro, Paxil, Pexeva, Viibryd, and Zoloft, should be disclosed to your doctor. Combining Wellbutrin with medications that cause drowsiness or slow breathing can result in fatal side effects. Before combining Wellbutrin with a sedative, narcotic pain reliever, muscle relaxant, or medication for anxiety, depression, or seizures, consult your doctor.

Prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products, as well as other medications, may interact with Wellbutrin. Not all potential interactions are covered in this list. Inform your doctor about all of your current medications as well as any new or discontinued ones. This includes vitamins, herbal products, prescription and over-the-counter medications. Give every medical professional who treats you a list of all the medications you take.

Warnings

If you have epilepsy or a history of seizures, an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia, or if you recently stopped using alcohol, sedatives, or tranquilizers, you shouldn't take Wellbutrin. When combined with other medications or taken by people who have certain medical conditions, wellbutrin can increase the risk of seizures. If you've taken an MAO inhibitor within the previous 14 days—including isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others—do not take Wellbutrin.

If you are expecting, avoid taking Wellbutrin. The unborn child could suffer harm. If you become pregnant while taking Wellbutrin for depression or seasonal affective disorder, call your doctor right away.
