hello,
I havent started taking my wellbutrin yet. The pharmacist kind of scared me and said that I absolutely cannot drink on this combination. She said wellbutrin lowers the threshold for seizures, as it is xmas and new years i have decided to wait for the new year. I am a little disappointed that I cant enjoy a glass of wine or two on the weekends :( I had always drank while taking cipralex and had no problems. Any thoughts or experiences??
thanks anything would be appreciated!

I too think waiting is a good idea. Just know that if you get more depressed before January, it is most likely from the drinking. As alcohol is a depressant. It does make you feel more depressed in the long run.

People often don't put that together, but yes, it is a strong depressant...

I hope that you have fun this holiday weekend. It is getting so close to Christmas now, I am very excited. And all I am doing is cooking, but my husband and I cook together and it is fun.

Take care, have a good night.

Hugs, Karen
