Hello...

 

The best person to ask this question would be the doctor who is prescribing this combination of meds to you.  Or perhaps you could call your pharmacist.

 

I am not a doctor so I cannot give medical advice but I can give you some information which you can read for yourself.

 

You can find out more about Wellbutrin right here on Health Central.

 

It seems that a lot of people have tried this combination of meds and here is one depression forum where they discuss how this combo had worked for them.

 

Here is yet another forum where people talk candidly about taking these two drugs together.

 

Lastly...here is a site called, Ask Dr. Jones, where a similar question was answered by a medical doctor.

 

I hope this helps some but please do contact your personal doctor about your concerns.  He or she will be the best person to advise you.
