The reality is that in indeed alcohol and Wellbutrin are increasing your chances of getting seizures but that is if you are prone to seizures first. Any history of seizures?

Indeed Remeron will make you gain weight as it is supposed to stimulate you appetite without mentioning the possible interactions with your metabolism to make you gain weight.

Doctor says that you can have 2-3 beers with meds based on an interaction we call increase, in this case, increased sedation while taking xanax, alcohol and any medications that can have sedative proprieties. This is a vague estimation not based on your metabolism, health and many variables. 2-3 beers is considered safe because 2-3 beer won't get your a strong sedative effect unless you drink 3 strong beers really fast.

I repeat that seizures you read on the internet on non-epileptic patients are rare and therefore should not be considered as a strong possible outcome and not to mention that you are already taking Xanax which haves strong anti-convulsive proprieties = very low risk of seizures in non-epileptic patients but also in epileptic patients so the odds are really low.

I would just finish by saying just like your doctor told you and enjoy you 2-3 beers as it is supposed, without worrying about interactions and seizures. With a good diet and sleep you should be fine.

You probably know that but avoid street drugs and non-prescribed medications.

This need to be discussed with your doctor first tho.

Remeron is perfectly safe to combine with other medications and it is probably the antidepressant with less interactions. Talk to your doctor about it.

It might be a reaction from Wellbutrin but also might be your anxiety getting worse as your are switching medication which is increasing your anxiety considerably.

I would try non-stimulating antidepressants... Have a look at Remeron. Its a tetracyclic antidepressant, it doesn't inhibit the reuptake of serotonin or norepinephrine, it is antagonising those, basically increasing the production. You take it before bed and it knocks you to sleep.

Stimulating antidepressant are usually not good with anxiety.
