My current pharmicist at Walgreens asks me about being on 40mg of Celexa and 200mg of WellbutrinSR. She asks me about it every time I get a refill. I always try to explain to her that each medicine does different things. I try to explain to her that Celexa is a very selective SSRI and Wellbutrin will do things to elevate norepinephrine in small doses and it will increase dopamine in higher doses aswell.
This last time she said that she was looking up the metabolism of Celexa and that she was concerned that my doctor was doing blood and liver tests seeing that I take the Wellbutrin too.
Geez! I believe that my doctors know more than this pharmacist does. I keep telling her that I've been on both drugs for almost two years now without a problem. I keep trying to tell her that this is a common combination.
*Shrugs* I guess she'll ask again next time... It just gets so very annoying.
