> I have mentioned this before, but it seems appropriate, I am not bi-polar, but the combination of Wellbutrin and Prozac nearly killed me. I became paranoid, delusional and when I began hallucinating, they put me in the seclusion room. I was a mess. I have been told that some folks do metabolize this combination well. However, I should also mention that at that time I was started right off the bat on a pretty high dose of Wellbutrin (150 mgm twice a day). I should have known or my husband should have caught it, but at the time I was DESPARATE to find something for my ADD when Ritalin was no longer an option.
> Today I take Wellbutrin, a total of 400 daily. By itself, it is the best one for me, and when I began it it was at a low dose.
> I simply share this as a caution.Thanks for the info. I discontinued Prozac three days ago so it will take a while to get out of my system, we'll see what happens. Perhaps if I try to up the Wellbutrin without the Prozac in my system, I will be able to tolerate a higher dose. The reason I keep going back to the prozac is because (prior to my pregnancies) I was on it successfully for 6 years for unipolar depression only. I became bipolar after my pregnancies so now it's a whole new ballgame.
