adamie - If there was anything more effective than milk thistle, don't you think all of those drug-addicted, hard drinking rock stars and actors (eg. Larry Hagman, David Crosby, John Phillips, Phil Lesh) would have been taking them, instead of ending up having liver transplants? :^)
Personally, I don't think that milk thistle works all that well, but it is better than nothing.
As for the vitamins, you can take them with the milk thistle, rather than the Wellbutrin; just because Wellbutrin is metabolized by the liver's cytochrome-P450 system and there would be more of a chance (albeit very, very slight) of an interaction between the Wellbutrin and certain vitamins. Besides, people take handfuls of vitamins and herbs together, all of the time and I have never heard of a problem with milk thistle and any vitamin. I know this is anecdotal, but hey, it's the best advice I can give, at the moment (ie. it is the way I would take the combination).
Good luck, and monitor for any adverse effects and be sure to report them to your doctor. - Cam
