Happy birthday, MiracleMan!
Andi, I totally know what you mean about looking at something, thinking, huh, that needs doing, and walking on by as if my robot fairy elf minions were gonna do it for me. And then later, you go by it again, and the same thing happens! Glad you found a medication that's helping, and may it continue to make your life better!
sj, I'm glad TCG is there to make you dinner. Hope tomorrow works out better and less with the stress.
I'm so glad to have you all in my life.
We're glad to have you, too!
((Andi)) I'm glad you are feeling better. I know how you feel about the medicine helping with ADHD.
Is Teppy around? I have a medication question. The "Do not drink alcoholic beverages while taking this medicine" on my brand new bottle of Welbutrin - is that a "Don't cross the streams, it would be bad" kind of warning, or is really "A little once in a while won't kill you, but if we put that on a warning label we would end up getting sued by the family of some joker who defined 'a little' as four beers and a fifth of vodka" kind of warning?
I am on the Welbutrin and drink quite frequently. Not that I'm advocating my bad behavior. It might be because of alcohol being a depressant.
I take Wellbutrin and drink cavalierly.
"A little once in a while won't kill you, but if we put that on a warning label we would end up getting sued by the family of some joker who defined 'a little' as four beers and a fifth of vodka" kind of warning?
Pretty much this.
It might be because of alcohol being a depressant.
And also this. I should note that I don't know this for certain, but I feel pretty confident in that guess.
To sum up: you should be fine.
WS, I think that warning is on every AD ever concocted. I personally take it as, drink with caution because there may be synergistic effects. So until you know how alcohol and Wellbutrin play together for you, take it very easy. And yes, alcohol is a depressant. If you're just asking whether you can have a glass of wine, you probably can. But IANAPharmacist.
Ok, thanks, that helps. So the bottle of whiskey I bought for sloshing a bit into mugs of hot cocoa and/or making the occasional hot toddy with, won't have to just sit there forlornly forever.
