Ambien and wellbutrin interaction
Common Questions and Answers about Ambien and wellbutrin interaction
ambien
I am on the insulin pump. I am also taking Wellbutrin and Ambien. My pump had a motor error yesterday and consulted my dr. who advised me to manually bolus with pump. 911 was called by my husband at 2:30 I was bouncing in the bed and he gave me o.j and sugar. He said I bit the cup. Once EMS was there they gave me a tube of glucose and checked my sugar which was 53. Could this have been caused by me taking wellbutrin and ambien?
I have taken ambien off and on as needed and have had no problems but you shouldnt have to take ambien if you have the klonopin because that in itself often causes drowsiness so it shoulld help you sleep. So to sum up. Take KLONOPIN as prescribed and your wellbutrin as prescribed. Do not take xanax or ambien that is overmedicating and overkill.
I started taking Ambien & Prozac in Oct 2009. I started building a resistance so my doctor prescribed for me Restoril, that didn't work so she started me on Lunesta. After I started building a resistance to the Lunesta my doctor prescribed for me Ambien CR 12.5mg. It's now March 2010 and I need 4 or more Ambien CR to sleep. I can't sleep without it!!! I haven't taken the CR 12.5mg in 24hr and I have the common addiction symptoms.
Dr prescribed ambien for wellbutrin sleepless nights.... I also take a benzo. Is it safe? I think not. I've never taken ambien before. ? Anyone?
Now, several days later, I have reduced the intake of the hydrocodone in the last two days from the 45 mg to 15 mg as the pain hs been subsiding. I brought the ambien back upto 10 mg and I still can barely sleep and again that is partly due to the sling, but i only fall asleep for 2 - 3 hours and then i'm awake again. I feel like a zombie during the day and not tired enough at night. Then, i become anxious that i'm not sleeping.
Can Cabergoline .25MGS twice weekly and Wellbutrin 100 MGS sr once daily be taken together? I know one is a dopamaine agonist and the other a dopamine reputake inhibitor.
keep in mind both are low doses and I want to see if its safe before asking my doctor to prescribe it.
but, at least from my view on the bleachers....it seems like you are going on.. and then off the Ambien.... as well as going on... and off the Amitryptiline. They both can aide with sleep.....but you will have rebound affects from stopping and starting the Ambien. And your blood levels don't ever reach an "even" dose of the Ami if you don't CONSISTENTLY take it. It builds.....and then it becomes affective.
Hi,
For years I've been on 20 mg Lexapro. I never had ED, but it often took me a long time to climax during sex. My doctor and I decided to try switching to Wellbutrin (mostly because we thought it might help improve motivation). I'm still in the process of switching over -- cutdown from 20mg Lexapro to 10mg, and I'm now on 200mg Wellbutrin taken twice a day (400 mg total). The depression symptoms are handled fine and I think there is increased motivation.
Zyban is the same as Wellbutrin which is a commonly prescribed antidepressant and is an NDRI meaning norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor.
So basically the concept of the medication is that when you quit smoking you quit getting your regular dopamine fix (the brain rewards you for smoking a cigarette by releasing dopamine which makes you feel good.) The zyban, over the course of a few weeks, stops your body from breaking down the natural dopamine in your brain as quickly.
I was on Lamictal and Wellbutrin at that time. I stopped the Lamictal abruptly (I know, big no no) and started taking Wellbutrin right after. On the fourth day of taking the Wellbutrin, I started experienced violent jerking movements as I was trying to fall asleep. I didn’t sleep at all for three nights. Finally I went to the pcp and she prescribed Restoril for the time being. That helped, but I was afraid since it’s an addictive drug, so after about four weeks, I weaned myself off.
i realize that you are not my doctor, but right now i have no one else to turn to (mine comes back the 25th and have appt) and you may be able to provide guidelines re getting off wellbutrin.
Hi and welcome to the forum!
Wellbutrin is an atypical AD and with them it's very personal, it really depends from one person to another. Give it the time to kick in tho, it takes a minimum of 2 weeks.
Best of luck to you.

It is possible that bupropion (Wellbutrin) may cause your symptoms of tremors and joint pain. Please contact your provider and pharmacist to report the adverse effects and have them confirm by conducting a complete medication review, including prescription, over-the-counter, and any dietary and herbal supplements.
Some of the common side effects of bupropion are headaches (26%, compare to 23% of placebo), dry mouth (17%, compare to 7% of placebo), insomnia (11%, compare to 6% of placebo).
I'm having bad side effects from starting Elavil for nighttime and Wellbutrin in the morning. Does anyone get panic attacks and sweating from the combination? I was less depressed with just the Wellbutrin but am taking the Elavil for chronic pain. It helps somewhat but I don't know why I feel worse mentally and it doesn't help to wake up listless and sweating. A new doctor added the Elavil but I don't know if it's worth taking since it only relieves some pain, not all.
There are potential concerns about interactions between these two medications but the best thing to do is to discuss this with your psychiatrist or pharmacist. You could also go to the medication websites themselves and look under "drug interactions" and discuss that specific information with your psychiatrist. They would have a physician's only database where they would be able to find detailed information on this of course.
It is not an over dose and I am no doctor. That is the dosage my doctor gave me in fact he wanted me to take 2 150 mg a day. It didn't agree with me so I stopped... the ringing was even louder. I get ringing in my ears from aleve also , just from 1 pill.,I don't even take that anymore either. Anyway the ringing is driving me crazy so I won't be taking any more of this bupropion sr.
