Wellbutrin with clonazepam
Hey all. I have been on Wellbutrin 300mg for about 6-7 months. It does not seem to do anything for me. Recently I have had many issues that I thought were heart related but those have all been checked by doctor
I went to a new doctor and he thinks my anxiety is making this issue bad. I agree. He prescribed me .5mg clonazepam and told me to stop Wellbutrin immediately. I have always heard ton tapper off. Is this correct? And if not, can I take both together?

So I could take these together ? That is my main concern right now

1 Reactionthe medscape interactions checker says there are no known interactions. I have taken the two together without issue, except maybe drowsiness. but again I am not a doctor.

1 ReactionI take both. My wellbutrin in the morning and clonazepam as needed
How does it work for you? Anxiety wise ?
I was put on Wellbutrin for my depression long ago. I take prozac (both generic brands) as well. The clonazepam came in when the anxiety did.When I fisrt started to have the "panic attacks" ( I would cry and not be able to stop...like hyperventalating crying) It would calm me down. Now mostly I take it before bed when I'm lying there wondering what's next? I have a long story, it's very interesting 🙂 but it is long and I'm new here so I don't know where to put it lol
I was on Wellbutrin and after a while I needed something added. I find you need your meds tweaked....dosages changed..meds added. I feel like it's not working as well and it's time to see the dr. When I was on the highest dose of Wellbutrin something needed to be added. I was having a really hard time and went to see her....sa I'm sure you know it has to get real bad to make you go.She gave me a prescription. When I saw what it was I did not fill it. I did not want to take prozac with all it's stereo types . (the thing about these meds is everything work or does not work differently for people) Well i needed to do something and |I filled the prescription . It changed my life! This has been the longest time I have not needed my meds "tweaked"
All of these pills take time to help. If that time has gone by see the dr...higher dose.@jadillow

1 ReactionAwesome story. Thank you. My only worry is I took the pill today as I skipped Wellbutrin per the instructions yesterday. Today I feel bad like I have been so I’m thinking the Wellbutrin has caused a lot of this onset. I really want off but want to do it safely
Hello. I have posted this earlier but it’s a new topic as I really don’t want crazy side effects with my medicine. I am on 300 mg Wellbutrin Hcl xl and did not get it filled again due to doctor saying to stop cold turkey and take clonzapam at night. I have been on this for 6 months. I have about five pills left and decided to take one every other day until finished to taper this. I skipped yesterday and felt amazing. Took one this morning and feel crappy like i have been so obviously this medicine has caused a lot of my woes :(. I just want to be sure tapering how I am will be ok as I don’t feel comfortable following my docotrs order to stop cold turkey. Thanks in advance guys.
Hi, @jadillow, I've moved your post here so that you can continue to talk with the others where you've posted before on this topic, like @jbp26 @merpreb @susan2018 @lioness, and so they can see your update. Perhaps @julie1976 or @jakedduck1 may have some thoughts on your experience with tapering off the buproprion (Wellbutrin), as well.
Just to clarify - are you weaning off the clonazepam, as well, or just the buproprion? Have you had the chance to speak to your doctor about how your journey off of the buproprion is going?
