I have recently been perscribed Wellbutrin XL to assist in quitiing smoking. I understand it is for depression and was wondering if there are any adverse side effects. (i.e. drinking alcohol, taking drugs or just any general side effects)
-
For people who are taking Wellbutrin XL or SR
-
I was on it for depression. You shouldn't be drinking or taking illegal drugs while on it obviously. Did you read the package insert?
-
Note that Wellbutrin is the same as Zyban, which is often used to help in overcoming addictions.

thanx for your replies. and I know the use of narcotics and other substances is dangerous even without perscription drugs. the thing is i like to go to the bar and have drinks on the weekends. i was just wandering if anyone here has had any loss of time (black outs), alcohol tasting bad, depression after they where off of W XL, migrains, nausia, feeling unsocialable (wanting to withdraw from friends and family), etc.....the only reason i posted my question here, is in hopes that i might get some positive responses. b'cos everywhere i look all i find are people that have had problems with the drug. and i know it cant be that bad right? there are people who have drank and not had any side effects right?oh yeah didn't get the package insert just a bottle of wellbutrinthank you Helmsman, Amanda, and Ineligible
