 Posted: 01/03/06 - 01:00 Post subject: Adderall With Wellbutrin |
  |
|
I would like to know more about the medicines Adderall and Wellbutrin. My parents are using these drugs and I am worried about them. They are old and sometimes not aware that they have taken the wrong drug. Is it dangerous to take Adderall with Wellbutrin.

I know that you are scared for your parents. I understand because the same thing has happened to me and my grandparents. Adderall is a stimulant and appetite suppressant, it stimulates the central nervous system by increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the body. This medication increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases appetite. Adderall should be taken exactly as directed by the doctor and it should not be taken more then it is proscribed. Too much Adderall could be dangerous so if one of your parents doesn’t know this, tell them to ask their pharmacist. On the other hand, Wellbutrin is a pharmaceutical prescription antidepressant. It acts directly on the brain and other nerve cells and it is also used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder, bipolar depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, nicotine addiction, lower back pain etc. It is important not to stop taking Wellbutrin without talking to the doctor. When it comes to interaction between these two drugs, I have not found anything about it. The smartest thing for your parents is to be more careful when they are taking their medication.

| Aderall is an Amphetamine and Wellbutrin has Amphetamine like effects. I think it's pretty unusal that they should be on both. They may be prescribe them both together for fatigue or narcolepsy. Aderall is alot closer to street drugs the wellbutrin. |

| I agree with alycarr, i'm perscribed both and its actually very common. The pevious responses were very unhelpful, as adderall is not a "street" drug it is a controlled substance that happens to be abused by some... Welbutrin and aderall are both used to treat ADD quite often and similarly they are often combined... |
