Hi,
A couple of warnings from personal experience:1) It is not a good idea to combine high doses of Wellbutrin (over 300mgm a day) with CNS stimulants (Ritalin, Dexadrine, Adderall etc.)
2) The same thing can happen with the combination of an SSRI and a high dose of Wellbutrin (especially Prozac)There is a certain population of caucasians, 10-20% I believe, who cannot metabolize this combination properly due to a lack of a liver enzyme.
3) Before you take ANY "natural" substance CHECK WITH YOUR PSYCHISTRIST. Do not trust the word of the person selling it to you!!
I have seen the results of all three of the above and it is not pretty. (med induced psychosis, seizures, sensory deficits) just to name a few) Granted, every individual is unique, but the above are only cautions. I will attempt to pass along some more technical info. shortly.
