mixing Elavil and Wellbutrin

if it's okay to take these 2 meds at the same time?  I am taking Wellbutrin SR 200 mg twice daily, now neuro doc wants me to start taking Elavil for migraine prophylaxis.  They are both anti-depressants.  He knows I'm taking Wellbutrin so surely he wouldn't prescribe something for me that could potentially be a dangerous combination, but it still scares me.  I did a brief online search and couldn't find any contraindications......???

Elavil
I've taken both at the same time with no problems.  Be ready to be very sleepy when you start the Elavil.  I would fall asleep sitting up every time I got still and probably could have fallen asleep standing up it made me so sleepy, but it only lasted for about two weeks and it has been a life saver as far as my headaches go.  Hope this helps!
I agree - be consistent WHICHEVER way you use. No mixing. NM

you're mixing apples and beans here...sm

Some of us are heavy patriots, sons and daughters of America, but do not like what's going on in D.C.  It's as simple as that.  They are tapping 100,000+ Americans.  Do you really believe that one-third of our country is involved with terrorists?  Doubtful.....not even half that number.  This administration simply TAKES advantage at every turn...in every nook and cranny that they can.


They are the reason the work force across the USA is highly upset, doesn't matter which state, which city, nobody is a happy camper in the regular work force today in the USA.  I blame D.C.


Yes, GOD Bless the men and women who would fight for us to keep us FREE throughout history.  And I will bless the men and women who are fighting today in Iraq


....but know it's over oil....do not delude yourself. 


Just one person's opinion......we were ALL duped...approval rating as of yesterday and this includes everyone, whether reps or dems, was 29%....


s/l hal elavil elevated
This is a patient in for mid upper gastric pain.  Doc gives last menstrual period date then what s/l "hal elavil elevated" while patient has no known history of peptic ulcer disease, gall bladder disease.  Any ideas?
WELLBUTRIN
My husband used it about 5 years to quit a 20 year, 2 pack a day habit and has not smoked since!  Good luck to you !
Elavil hahaha YUCK

for the first few days went to work in a very good mood, almost tipsy!! 


   


Surprisingly, I did not care for that feeling!


I had to take it in the morning or else I could not fall asleep!! I have ADD so that might account for the reason I need to take all meds similar to Elavil in the morning.


Taking Effexor XR 300 mg and just put on Wellbutrin IR 150 mg.
Also to sleep taking Restoril 30 mg only until I get my sleep cycle back on track. 
I tried the Wellbutrin and broke out in massive hives

Has anyone here (or anyone you know) had luck with Wellbutrin for smoking cessation? nm
