Question: Drug Interactions

Swinger - Thu Aug 11, 2005 7:28 pm

I am a Bipolar patient who has just had all of my medications switched. I am now prescribed:

Ritalin SR 20mg
Wellbutrin SR
Lamictal 100mg

Are there any bad interactions between these drugs I should be concerned about?

DrReid - Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:30 pm

Wellbutrin SR is an Antidepressant. Ritalin SR is a medication that may be used to augment the action of Antidepressants and/or to counteract fatigue. Lamictal is a mood stabilizer. There are no specific interactions between these medications. The most common interactions that I have seen involving these medications are with alcohol. You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking these medications. Thanks for your question!
