Since I Have Started Wellbutrin A Few Weeks Ago, My

Posted on Mon, 5 Oct 2020

Question: Since I have started Wellbutrin a few weeks ago, my heartbeat has been consistently over 100 every time it's been measured--I'm sure this is compounded by the Adderall I take too. My question is about antibiotics--the last time I took them, they massively increased my heart rate. Should I be concerned about taking the antibiotics with the Wellbutrin and Adderall?

Brief Answer:
Antibiotics and Wellbutrin together doesn't cause interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The increased heart rate is possibly caused by Wellbutrin.
Taking antibiotics with Wellbutrin doesn't increase the heart rate or other side effects.

Wellbutrin is not recommended to be taken with adderall due to increased risk of seizures.
Talk to your doctor about taking them both.
