In reply to Wellbutrin questions, posted by AprilA on February 16, 2000, at 11:44:51
> 1. Is there a risk of seizures with Wellbutrin at a lower dosage if it is taken in combination with other drugs (effexor and/or ritalin)?
> 2. If Wellbutrin was discontinued because of allergic reaction (hives) is it safe to try it again at lower dosage?
> Thanks1. I take Wellbutrin SR 75mg once a day, Effexor XR 150 mg once a day and 75 mg once a day, and ADDerall(similar to ritalin)10 mg three times a day. I haven't been warned by my pdoc, pharmacist, or primary care physician of any greater possibilty of seizure. I do experience myoclonic jerks almost every night before falling asleep. Usually my legs or arms jerk, but one time my whole body jerked strongly. I wonder if these are related to seizures in any way?
2. What dosage of Wellbutrin were you on when you got hives? Was it the regular or SR(time released) version? I understand that there is less chance of allergic reaction with the regular formula. Some people are allergic to the substances added to make it release more slowly.
