Is anybody on Methadone and Welbutrin?

[duckandcover]

Reason I ask is that my wife is on Methadone for legit pain  (She got off Oxy) and is having problems with depression.  She had decent results from it in the past (pre addiction days).  Anything to worry about in terms of mixing the two.
Any general advice or comments much appreciated.

Oh and I'm 36 days clean today. Thanks mostly to this board!

Rosebud is right...I remember that as well.....and she is also right in saying your wife is lucky.

Remeber the whole anna nicloe thing.  well her son died from a heart attack due to mixing anti depressents and methadone.  I would think the dr. or the pharmacy would know but you never know and must check into this further.  I am not trying to scare you but i specifically remember that his death was due to a combination of those exact two things.  Good luck and boy is she lucky to have you looking out for her!!!

Hi, I was on welbutrin 150XL 1xper-day,I have anziety/panic,also im on methadone,40mgs for oxycontin and percocet issues.I found the welbutrin was problematic as if may of helped with depression,but increased aggitation,anziety,etc.I stopped the welbutrin and felt way better 2-5 days latter.The methadone i have never found to cause ant adverse reactions.I no longer double doctor and buy oxycontin and worry about running out.In my opinion the benefits are worth the risk. john

Im not on welburitin, but yes I am on methadone but doing a slow taper, but one of the many reasons for me wanting off methadone was because it was making me feel either depressed or very empty inside, also I just was never me, now that Im not on 95mgs but on 8mgs I am starting to feel like the old me again, I feel happiness & laugh again, It was so bad that I never cried but still had feelings of depression, methadone works that way on most people, its supposed to make you feel stable, but I never ever felt stable, more like a drugged up zombie. Prior to the methadone my drug of choice was oxys, & I tried so hard to taper off them & got so ill I really thought I was gonna die, it was awful, so far the methadone taper is a breeze compared to the oxycotin, just thinking about it makes my stomach turn. But I just wanted to tell you that I to had a depression thing that was associated with to much methadone.
