Adding Wellbutrin to Zyprexa

Posted by Bob12 on April 3, 2013, at 1:14:20

Hi,
I have been taking 17.5 mg of Zyprexa for 12 years, and have recently tried to do more exercise, but am having trouble with sedation due to Zyprexa.
I am considering adding Wellbutrin, one dose in the morning only.
Does anyone have experience with the combination of Zyprexa and Wellbutrin?
thanks

I know there are people out there taking that combo. Interaction-wise there should be no problems. Well worth trying.

I've had a good experience with that combo. Wellbutrin will deffinitly give you pep. Keeps me going at work. Also gave me good energy at the gym. I take the SR version, generic. Seems to work better than brand, less side effects.

Zyprexa,

Does Wellbutrin SR cause insomnia? Could I take just one dose of 100 mg in the morning?

You could. Probably won't affect your sleep at such a low dose in morning. It has a short half life. The dose would probably wear off in 4-6 hours. I take zyprexa which helps with sleep, but I used to take 400mg wellbutrin sr, 2 morn, 1 lunch, one with supper. And that did not affect sleep, with 5 mg zyprexa.
