Hi I have had two different opinions on the combination of wellbutrin and luvox.I currently take wellbutrin 300XL.My cnp has suggested taking luvox 100mg with wellbutrin XL 300mg.The luvox would possibly be helpful with negative thoughts.I recently completed a ten day outpatient hospitizalition group treatment plan.The psychiatrist at the program questioned that combination and did not see it as a good one.Who should I believe? Has anybody had any experience with that combo? THANKYOU FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi there
This is a good question. I am thinking that your best bet is to talk to each doctor and ask directly about what the advantages and disadvantages of such a combination are. So you have not started on this combo yet? Is the Luvox for panic attacks? OCD? Find out why it was prescribed in the first place and also what interactions you can expect from taking these two meds at the same time.
In the meantime here is an interesting message board where people discuss Luvox.

Luvox and Wellbutrin did wonders for me. Unfortunately, I also ended up on a medical floor with Serotonin Syndrome. I don't nthink they are supposed to be taken together. Most doctors ignore this. I am bummed because it's been the only thing that has helped me (except it made me very sick) and I've tried everything for over 25 years. Be careful. If your limbs start twitching, tell the doctor immediately. And read up on Serotonin Syndrom so you know if your fever is just a fever, or if it is connected to other odd, but that become extreme, symptoms. Good luck.
