Can Plan-B Be Taken While On Bupropion?

I just took my regular daily antidepressant (Bupropion aka Wellbutrin) and right after I took Plan B One-Step Emergency Contraceptive, will the combination of pills cause any side effects or other reactions? (No food intake, just a cup of coffee & water.)

No there are no interactions documented or clinically proven up till now. It is safe if you take them together. Neither drug reduce the effects of the other one. So their efficacy and potency remains the same. They work through separate mechanisms and are eliminated separately without having any interaction during elimination from the body.
