In reply to Wellbutrin XL didn't dissolve, posted by fires on January 5, 2006, at 16:45:56
Hi:
I, too taking WB, not XL but SR version, 300 mg.
Also, I have 'acid reflux' problem as you mentioned in your post.In my knowledge along with my 'real' experience, ... Wellbutrin does NOT go along with the Nexium, ... nor all of similar acid reflux med.
In my case, when my 'acid' problem flared-up, I took the Nexium 40 mg., one tab per day, then went even 3 tabs 40 mg. per day which is an awful dosage, to say the least. But, there was such a 'terrible' acid in my esophagus which causing terrible irritation in my system, even just drinking water. I ate one banana for the breakfast to make sure not to get 'acid' coming up into the throat. Afterwards, I switched the Prevacid 30 mg., per day to start, then two pills per day. Probably, I did this, 'drastic' acid med.regimen for about 2-3 weeks' period. Luckily, it seems to me the Prevacid helped ease my 'acid' problem eventually, although I still have one, when I eat 'undesirable' acid-related foods.
During the Prevacid/the Nexium with WB sr 300mg.,... I had NO problem to dissolve the WB sr. However, one thing about which I can remember is that those 'acid' meds are prone to bring you 'down' to make your depression get worse. Then, we, MI folks should avoid any acid meds. the best we can. Diet is #1 to fight back 'acid' problem, ... in my experience, tho'.
Lastly, this is my theory, ... WB is NEVER friendly to the stomach. It causes some 'indigetion'/gas in the digestive system.
