> Hi:
> Wellbutrin causes often 'insomnia,' 'Anxiety' and other S.E. due to 'stimulanting' efficacy. However, this does NOT apply in your case. Partly, in my guess, ... your other problem, 'fibromyalgia' or other med. Elavil can make WB metabolization differently?Actually the opposite.. Wellbutrin blocks the metabolism of Elavil, which is why these two meds aren't often co-prescribed. Is the same doctor prescribing the Elavil and Wellbutrin? I think there is a serious contra-indication here. At the very least, you should have an Elavil plasma level done (expensive if you don't have insurance, but worth it if you want to continue on these two meds).
