xanax,wellbutrin, paxil.together?
I am on Wellbutrin (for about 1 1/2 mos. now) to counteract any side effects with any other anit-depressant I would take. I would just take that, but it hightens my anxiety.
Now, i just started Paxil (1week ago) for an all-of-the-time solution and Xanax (also started 1 week ago) for when I need it.
My question is since I have been taking the xanax and paxil (along with the wellbutrin) everyday, I wonder if I will notice when the paxil kicks in? Are there any concerns with this trio?
Answers:
Wellbutrin and paxil are both anti depressants and xanax is an anti anxiety medication there should be no problems in taking the 3 meds together no. Xanax however is a highly addictive medication so i would try just to use this if feeling extremely anxious not just to rely on it daily give the other meds a chance to work first.
Ask your doctor, moron! Or, have you obtained them illegally??
did the same doctor prescribe these or different doctors? ask the doc that RXed them- or your pharmacist. often they know more than MDs about side effects.
You shouldn't have any problems with this regimen of drugs. I am Bipolar and i take Lexipro, Xanax and Seroquel all together and it has helped me to be able to function normally. You probably won't even notice when the paxil kicks in. I do have one concern though I am not a doctor but the wellbutrin concerns me because it has so many side effects but if you have been on in for a month and a half and haven't noticed any problems i wouldn't worry about it. If you have any side effects from the trio there are drugs out there such as cogentin that will minimize the side effects of the trio.
Wellbutrin is in a different class of meds than Paxil. Wellbutrin deals with dopamine (I believe) and it's good for people who wish to stop smoking etc. Paxil deals with the seratonin. It's a SSRI, selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor. I know that those two together shouldn't be a problem.
I am not 100% sure on Xanax but I think it should be fine if the same DR prescribed it.
It usually takes two weeks before you notice changes.
Strange mix with the Welbutrin. Welbutrin feels more like an "upper" it is usually not prescribed for anxiey, although I too took it for anxiety, since Lexapro didn't seem to work, but I felt like I just drank 4 cups of coffee when the Welbutrin kicked in. I have not mixed those three together, but have mixed Welbutrin, Xanax and Lexapro with no problems, and under the supervision of my primary care.
