Answer by  Katie57 (169)

No, there are no drug interactions between Lexapro and Wellbutrin. In fact, these medications are often prescribed together for conditions such as depression and anxiety. Wellbutrin has been shown in some studies to relieve the sexual side effects associated with drugs such as Lexapro. These medications are considered relatively safe and work well together.

I have read a few instances about people taking these medications together and had no problems, however your body chemistry will determin what side effects you may experience, some patients have no side effects at all. If you are perscribed these two medications, make sure to consult your doctor if you have any side effects at all.

Wellbutrin and Lexapro are both antidepreesents. Wellbutrin can actually increase anxiety levels so that may be why the Lexapro was prescribed with it. They are safe to take together, but if yoiu have any side effects talk to your doctor.

Any drug taken with another causes a drug interaction. Sometimes that is a good thing, and some cases, not so good. Lexapro and Wellbutrin are both SSRIs, which are medications to treat depression (among other things). It is no uncommon for the two of them to be prescribed together.

If you take both of these drugs you need to monitored very closely. I would not suggest doing this without the advice of your doctor.

Yes, there could very likely be a negative interaction. Wellbutrin is not well tolerated with other medications and can result in reduced appetite, which is compounded by other supplements and medications (especially weightloss items). Consult your physican before mixing or stopping any medications.

These two drugs should not be taken together unless absolutely necessary. A major drug interaction may occur. These two drugs may lower the threshold for seizures which could be fatal. They may also increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or other side effects when taken together. Do not use this combination unless your doctor tells you to.

Answer by  Ferret (118)

The common side effects with the combination of the two drugs is a dulling of the negative side effects of lethargy and loss of appetite that comes from Lexapro.
