Please forgive me if I'm asking questions that have already been addressed here. I have done a few searches but haven't found enough information and I'm too overwhelmed to keep digging.
Is it safe to combine Wellbutrin and Phentermine? I have used phentermine in the past to lose weight and have found it works very well for me, aside from exaserbating my insomnia. I have started taking it again but I know I need to get back on an anti-depressant soon as things are going downhill for me. Could the phentermine be making my depression worse? Seems unlikely but I wonder.
I'm haven't started taking the Wellbutrin yet. I may have had febrile seizures as a child (fever would spike, I would hallucinate, fever would drop) and I understand there is concern about taking Wellbutrin if one has had seizures. I'm not sure that is what I experienced with those high fevers and even so, I'm not sure those would prohibit the use of Wellbutrin. I am somewhat on my own with this and don't want to do anything dangerous but I'm discouraged and don't feel I have many options regarding medication, having tried and been unhappy with Paxil, Zoloft, and Effexor. If you have any information for me, or can point me to a particular post that would shed some light on this, I would appreciate it. Thanks very much.
