Re: possible Wellbutrin-Prozac combo
If your friend is interested in trying this combo, s/he probably should start at lower doses than I mentioned above--say Prozac 10mg + Well. 150mg. Although W. and P. are metabolized by different liver enzymes, W. can inhibit the enzyme that one isomer of P. needs for metabolism. The net result is that blood levels of Prozac when taken with Well. will be higher than the same dose of P. taken alone.I know 3 people happy with this combo (at higher doses), so it's not contraindicated, but it's usually better to "start low, go slow".
Well wishes---medlib
