hey! I've never heard of wellbutrin being a major player in serotonin syndrome--that seems to happen alot with combos involving SSRIs and stimulants, or multiple antidepressants...anyway, that particular complication shouldn't be an issue. A possible problem, though, would be cardiovascular stuff; Wellbutrin, probably b/c its kind of stimulating, can raise blood pressure/heart rate all by itself. Meridia is pretty safe, but its been linked to a couple strokes and heart attacks (pretty much what you'd expect from any diet pill). Keep in mind that Wellbutrin itself is related to an older diet pill, Tenuate--a non-amphetamine stimulant type appetite suppressant that was popular in the 70s, I think. Good luck!
