> Where did you hear that alcoholics aren't suppose to take Wellbutrin? I've heard the exact opposite. Wellbutrin is relatively safe and tolerable and because many alcoholics have mood disorders, Wellbutrin is suggested over most SSRI's for alcoholics.

1. it states not to drink alot of alcohol on wellbutrin
2. don't abruptly stop alcohol or any sedatives while on itRelapse is common for alcoholics which results in a continuing cycle of too many drinks, and abrupt stops. Someone who was secure in his/her sobriety for several years would probably be ok.
Wellbutrin can be effective in curbing some alcohol cravings.
