Posted on Mon, 2 Dec 2013

Question: Hi. Have there been any reports of Wellbutrin/Buproprion interacting with the supplement SAMe + B12 + B6 + L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate? I recently had a terrible reaction to this supplement while attempting to wean off of wellbutrin. Perhaps because the wellbutrin was not fully out of my system? Uncontrollable crying, panic, mania, drunken feeling, sensitivity to light, sensitive to smell, worst headache in recent memory
