Would taking Wellbutrin with an anti-psychotic (say Zyprexa) be counterproductive?

That's a good question. Wellbutrin is only slightly dopaminergic. Its definitely more noradrenergic. Its ratio of noradrenaline to dopamine is something like 5 to 1. So I doubt it would be very counterproductive to add an anti-psychotic to Wellbutrin.

The one time I took it that it worked it felt
damn close to amphetamine. That seems to be
a concensus amongst a lot of people. Anyways
thanks for the feedback. I tried it briefly while
taking Zyprexa and it helped with my motivation
and interest but I didn't take it long enough
to "kick in" an aphetamine like anti-depressant
effect.Regards,
John

No, not necessarily.
