Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was unable to refill my prescription for 20mg of Citralopram Fiur days ago... I am also on Wellbuterin and supposed to take 150mg in am and pm but have never taken more than 150mg each evening. Would it work for me to just not refill my Citralopram at all and take the wellbutrin in the am and pm instead of just once a day? Or is this method likely to cause withdrawal symptoms?
Hi there, i think i understand what u meant there. Your psychiatrist seems to have prescribed you two antidepressants which is not unusual considering the severity of illness. But as it seems that you seem to be doing better than before now. But it is ideal to maintain the effective dose for a sufficient duration. You may feel withdrawal symptoms if citalopram is discontinued. But if you have not felt the same in last 4 days it is unlikely that u will get them now. As far as wellbutrin is concerned it is important that you continue atleast one of the drugs in an effective dosage i.e. you should take both dosage of wellbutrin. ope this helps in solving your query. Feel free to ask for any further queries.
