In reply to Re: Can I take Concerta and Wellbutrin at once?, posted by SLS on August 17, 2006, at 9:38:02
I just got off the phone with GSK and his suggestion is to call my dr asap because the 2 meds shouldn't be taken together (even if I wait a few hours) because they both work on the same two neurotransmitters. ie - one counteracts the other. I'm medically challenged when it comes to terminology but he did refer to dopamine and 'methylphindate'?(or somthing like that) He also said both of them carry the risk of seizures so I'm doubleing/tripleing my chance of having one.
That sucks because I like the fact that Concerta keeps me awake during the day and the Wellbutrin gives me the boost I need to want to get up each day.
I think I'll do a bit more research then call my dr. this afternoon.
