any interactions with topamax and wellbutrin

Hi and welcome! I'm new myself. Just started on Saturday. I too am on Wellbutrin and Effexor. I was also very nervous about asking for topomax but just went in and said, "I need a script for Topomax because I'm starting an alcohol recovery program and that's what I need." She was very interested in the My Way Out Program and wants me back in 4 weeks to see how I'm doing. She said I shouldn't have any interactions with my other meds and Topomax AND since I already have some headache history...that should be a bonus! She gave me the starter pack and a script. I already feel better but can't wait til next week when I get the 50mg. I have hope for the first time in years!

wellbutrin/topa

I have been taking 50 mg of topamax for about 4 weeks and 300 mg's of Wellbutrin for over a wekk and I am just fine. I think I am weird though because that is a lot of wellbutrin and I have no side effects! I am on such a high dosage because I want to quit smoking. It should kick in any day now. We shall see! But no, you should be fine. Good luck!

Re: how is it going?

Yeah...I'm doing the whole program. I just started the supps yesterday though because I only received them yesterday. I feel good but a little jittery which is weird because I can go a few days with no alcohol and not have the shakes. I don't know what it is. I also have a slight headache. But the good news is that I haven't had any desire to drink! And I had a huge argument with my difficult 8 yr old last night. That usually would have driven me straight to the bottle. I just took my kudzu for the afternoon and took the max dose cause I know my weakest part of the day is late afternoon. I feel good though!! Let me know how you're progressing.

I'm off to counseling now.

I have found that the Calms Forte helps calm my nerves.
