>do stupid self-destructive things. I have had drinks but have never gone on a bender,
I've gone on a "bender" for a night or two, at least. While on 300mg of Wellbutrin every day. While I can see now where it was probably indicative of problems not alleviated by Wellbutrin, the combination never caused additional probs. I may have gotten drunker faster, but that's about it. (and it was never so fast it was OBVIOUS it was from Wb)
But my family history has NO predisposition to seizures. I'd suggest if you've so much as HEARD the word "seizure" regarding a family member, you avoid alcohol and seriously consider a different AD. That's not something you want to play with.
One other thing....
I'd been thinking about going back on Wellbutrin (after the 2-3 months I've been off) and asking to add something else, like perhaps Klonopin. So I'm very curious how this combination is affecting you. If you'd be willing to email me once or twice once you're stable on it, I'd really appreciate it. You could post instead of you wanted, but I'd be less likely to see it...
Anyway, I wanna know how it turns out!Luck...
