As posted originally, the Buspar is to augment 450mg serzone plus 300 mg Wellbutrin SR. I've been taking the latter combination for about 3 months prior.

Hi Ash. As I understand it, the interaction of the two drugs is just as Elizabeth described. It doesn't mean they have to be discontinued, it means "caution is warranted during co-adminstration due to the possibility of increased side effects". Just watch for excessive side effects. That's all. So far all seems OK with you. We're all different. Best to you, JohnL.
