Guest replied: "Bupropion SR is the generic for Wellbutrin SR, and 150 mg is a starting dose. Most adults take 300mg total, but not all. I'm a little surprised that your doctor would prescribe Wellbutrin for you, since you've lost weight recently...Wellbutrin has a bit of a "stimulating" effect and can result in weight loss in some people...opposed to the weight gain most experience with SSRI antidepressents. I have no experience with Citalopram, but you probably shouldn't be drinking with the Wellbutrin, as it can lower your seizure threshold and bring on seizures even in those who have never had them. Also, Wellbutrins affect on the dopamine system tends to counteract alcohol...meaning you can be very intoxicated but not feel it because the wellbutrin is countering the affects of the alcohol. I'm also a little concerned that your doctor started you on two medications at once...this is tricky because if you experience any side affects, you can't know whats causing it.
Like I said, I've got experience with one drug (Wellbutrin) but not the other, so I can't say. I will say though, that for me, Wellbutrin has worked well in that it decreases my anxiety and depression without hampering on my ability to 'feel'...and it helps with motivation, too. Thinking about its actual chemical mechanism, I wouldn't think it would cause confusion, but I'm not a doctor, just a patient. Celexa (citalopram) is an SSRI so has a different affect on a different part of the brain. My own experience with SSRI's in the past hasn't been so great...I usually get very sleepy, yawny, and a little emotionally 'dead' when I take them, so I avoid them.
Don't depend on drugs to get you through all of this. You've obviously been through a lot, and stress can do insane things to the body, as you've seen. Make sure that you pay at least as much, if not more, attention to your emotions and don't just count on medication to cover it all up. It will hide the symptoms for now, but like a bandaid, will hurt when it comes off, and the wounds are still there. Good luck."

I think you might actually need a medication adjustment. I'm not sure with the information given that its working properly for you. Please keep seeing a doctor and/or therapist.

How long until all these drugs leave my body, any permanent damage? 1. Dexamphetamine 30mg
2. Xanax (alprazolam) 2mg
3. Prinivil (lisinopril) 20mg
4. Temaze (Temazepam) 30mg
5. Buspar (Buspirone Hydrochloride) 30mg
6. Zyban (Bupropion Hydrochloride) 300mg
I really can't be bothered explaining why I took all these drugs yesterday ... well I can.
Im a male in my early twenties diagnosed with anxiety, depression and ADHD disorders. After subsequent failure to treat me with Zoloft earlier this year (didnt like the diminished libido, erectile dysfunction and genital sensory impairment) my doctor wanted to try this concoction - err, not all six - just Dexamphetamine which I had already been on for five months or so, and the newly added Buspar and Zyban for the anxiety and depression disorders.
So I started them both at the same time, was on them for nine days in total - yesterday being the last. I began on Zyban 150mg and Buspar 15mg, I worked my way up as directed by 5mg every three days with the Buspar, but the Zyban I only put up to 300mg after seven days instead of the three days I was told. This is because of the immense anxiety it seemed to produce ... but I remained optimistic ... until yesterday.
I had just polished off my last of the three daily dosing schedules which was 10mg of Dexamphetamine, 10mg of Buspar, and the second 150mg of Zyban. All four hours apart from about 7am, the Zyban is of course not included in the midday dose. About three hours pass and then ...
Lying on my bed, I notice my heart beating hard, hard enough to notice my body moving back on forth on the bed. It wasnt a rapid heart rate to begin with, just hard, and I had noticed this the day before too, probably since moving up to 300mg of Zyban. Then I took my blood pressure, about 100/170, not critical, but higher than my usual 83/133 or so. I would say based on the way I was feeling a little bit later, my blood pressure may have reached 120/200 - but I was in no condition to take my blood pressure then.
I began shaking excessively, became very anxious, very nervous, and naturally very worried about my wellbeing. I walked outside, became lightheaded for a few moments, I recall my arm felt warm for a bit and pressure was mounting on my head. The most concerning symptom was the feeling of my heart thudding very hard up and down in my chest, putting my hand to chest I felt the thuds on the surface and then looking at my hands, they were shaking uncontrollably. I decided I wouldnt call the ambulance or go to the hospital and figured they wouldnt do much different than what I can do with the medicines available to me in the house.
The first thing I did was go to my own cupboard and grabbed my bottle of Xanax (use as needed) for my tremendous anxiety and crunched up a 2mg bar in my mouth before washing it down with water (tastes horrible, unlike Temaze and Prinivil). I waited for what felt like 20 minutes with no change (long enough in my condition) and thought Id better take care of my blood pressure and crunched up one of my fathers Prinivil tablets from the kitchen cupboard and took that down with water. My hands were still shaking tremendously and had to rip open the packet, I also noticed a popping sensation in my left ear and an acute onset of tinnitus.
Then I thought Id better address my risk of seizures and grabbed my bottle of Temaze (use as needed) from my cupboard and swished three tablets in my mouth with water and bit them up a bit before taking them down. I then tried to sit in a chair and calm down - it took perhaps another forty minutes before noticing that Im getting better, that is my heart didnt feel like it was going to thud out of my body anymore, then I went to my bed and lied down.
I took my blood pressure not long thereafter and it was ok, about 90/100. I was ok for the following few hours, the only thing that didnt go away was rapid heart rate, taking it manually (blood pressure unit is also a manual) by finger for ten seconds, it came in at about 120-130bpm, I imagine it mustve been about 200bpm at its worst.
I then had a desire for fatty foods, so went to the store and bought some cheese cake, frozen lasagna and coke. Cooked it up, ate it, and thought that I was better off just going to sleep before my desire to eat kicked in and wasnt all that confident I would wake up in the morning (given my lifes problems I didnt think it was ALL that bad).
Well today, being alive, I obviously took nothing, my blood pressure this morning was good at about 80/130, but I still have tinnitus. I also recently noticed a pain in the right side of my stomach area ... looking at a diagram, Id say its the small intestine or something in that area, got any idea what it is?
Also have another two questions;
How long till all this crap leaves my bloodstream completely so I can comfortably go back on my Dexamphetamine? How long until my tinnitus goes away, its not permanent is it? Its not likely any permanent damage has been done, right?
