Hi,
I've used 90mg phenelzine (Nardil) with 300mg bupropion (Wellbutrin) with no problems. I did a lot of research on it before taking the combination. I actually started the combination myself and my PDOC, who was retiring, did not want to take me off of something that was working. The next doctor was the same way since by that time I had been taking the combination for months. The combination worked well for at least six months. Having to quit the combo is another story that happens sometimes when taking combinations that are contraindicated. Bupropion does make me agitated(mean) when I first start taking it. This side effect goes away for me within a couple of weeks.
Be well,
Jedi
