In my blood work my TSH was 0.03; Free T4 was1.1; T3 Total 82. I take 1.5 Armour Thyroid in the morning and .05 in the afternoon. I feel great my only problem is my constant hair loss. I also take 150 mg of Buproprion which I have cut down the last couple of weeks and am going to switch to sam-e in hopes that that is my problem. Am wondering if I am over medicated on the Armour.
) or elimination may be expected to influence the degree and extent of accumulation of the active metabolites of bupropion. The elimination of the major metabolites of bupropion may be affected by reduced renal or hepatic function because they are moderately polar compounds and are likely to undergo further metabolism or conjugation in the liver prior to urinary excretion.
my cholesterol is under control and at decent levels My blood pressure was borderline high in the past and I have been taking quinapril for a while now. (max dose). My blood pressure was better at ~ 120/90. I also take bupropion xl and was taking olanzipine. I have stopped the olanzapine, after long term use. Coming off the olanzapine, I have had more anxiety and more emotion, and have not slept very well. After stopping olanzapine, my BP was checked and was now high again at 148/110.
There may be a moderate drug interaction between atenolol and bupropion due to their effect on blood pressure. It is a good idea for you to monitor your blood pressure, especially with your medical history of postural orthostatic condition.

My husband has dementia. He takes the Bupropion in the morning along with his Aricept and Exforge (for blood pressure). He gets drowsy right after taking his pills and I think it may be the Bupropion HSL SR causing this. His neurologist told him the anti-depressant would probably make him "a little more fuzzy in his thinking". My husband is usually at his best in the morning as far as clear thinking goes.
My doctor has decided that Depression is the cause of my anxiety, and has upped my bupropion to 450 mg a day until the tremors and shaking started, then he lowered me back down to 300. Now I have feel angry or like crying all the time. An explotion can come at anytime, but because the depression was better at 450 mg a day he wants to combine atenolol with it to fight the side effects. I don't like the side effects of either one of these drugs.
Another reason why it should be the first choice for treating depression because SSRIs do not raise dopamine or norepinephrine levels and surprisingly certain ones have been shown to actually DECREASE dopamine levels by as much as 50%! Another thing is, for me at least, bupropion has caused me to lose weight by not wanting to eat as much and there is no sexual dysfunction.
Is anyone getting ringing in the ears from taking Generic Wellbutrin(Bupropion sr ) 150 mg. Here is my situation I have been on amitriptiline 25 mg 4 years then went up to 50 mg for 3 years. I started taking only one 150 mg of bupropion sr this is my 5 day. Can I stop taking the amitriptiline with no withdrawls after only 5 days of Bupropion? or has it not been long enough. I hoping that I can stop the amitriptiline by taking the bupropion sr in place of the amitriptiline.
In addition, buPROPion can increase the blood levels of amphetamine, which may increase other side effects." from - http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/adderall-with-contrave-190-1645-3559-16891.html
So I think that you would want to be aware of any over medicated types of reactions.
Another thought is that weight gain among adults with adhd is common due to (they think) lack of impulse control. If the Vyvanse can control this the Contrave might not be needed?

I'm currently on 300 bupropion, along with topamax 100 and still have had no weight losse. I just started the 300 bupropion after being on 150 last week and have already had crying spells but this was the week of my period so I was thinking I just could be "emotional". Before I was on Zoloft 25-150 bupropion but I ate to much on it, I'm hoping for weight loss but every antidepressant I take makes me eat what to do I do??
I was prescribed 300 mg xl of bupropion for anxiety that comes from a neurlogical problem in my eyes called Nystagmus. I think side effects of bupropion cause blurred vision and problems with one eye not moving in conjunction with the other which is horrible in addition to Nystagmus. I've lived with this because I was told bupropion is the least likeliest of pills to cause sexual disfunction. Is this true?
I am on 100 mg of bupropion and was feeling a little anxious. Before taking bupropion, when I felt a little anxious my roommate would give me one of his ativan's, but a full 0.5 would make me sleepy…so I cut it down to 0.25 which worked nicely. I have started to do that with the bupropion…is that ok?
My thyroglobulin and anti thyroglobulin antibody levels remain low, however in a recent blood test, the TSH level rose to over 6. My T4 levels remain close to the upper limit where they should be for TSH suppression (at the moment free T4 is at 1.68ng/dL). Is there any reason why the TSH level jumped in such a way?
It will be over a month before I can see my endocrinologist again, which is why I'm here.
I have been taking one 150 mg of bupropion for a few months now and I went for a UA and failed with like a 66% of THC in my urine is this a normal amount ?
