Wellbutrin and Hepsera

I'm currently taking Hepsera for Hepatitis B and would like to add Wellbutrin. I have read Wellbutrin can be toxic with some Protease Inhibitors. Does anyone know if Wellbutrin is in that family? I have tried Wellbutrin and loved it. Has anyone with Hepatitis had experience with it. Also has your Dr prescribed it?
wellbutrin is for depression and unlike others is very stimulating which helps greatly for fatigue and doesn't harm your sex life. In fact it may enhance it.

unless you have a history of seizures there is really no reason why you can't take wellbutrin with hepsera. There are no interactions.

good luck
