I take Nature-Throid. I wonder if the dose would need to be lowered, if it would be affected somewhat when also taking Wellbutrin?
Just wondering: Does Wellbutrin affect the dosage of thyroid medication?

Hello G Mc,
Thyroid medication and Wellbutrin do need to be taken desperately. Because Wellbutrin is a dopamine antagonist blood pressure sweat glands and metabolism will increase. An hour and a half is good.

Hi Canada, I didn't quite understand your answer. Could you please tell me again, in different words? Did you mean to say "desperately"?

G mc; Where have you been dear? Anyway, the most important thing just to make sure is to take your THYROID BY IT'S SELF WAIT ABOUT HOUR THEN TAKE THE Welbutrin and this would be true with any type of thyroid. And it should not affect the levels of your thyroid. The only thing that really would is if you took it with other medications or food just again take it with water only. And say 45 min to 1 hour you can take the other medications and eat. Hope this helps my dear friend from another mother.

Thank you, Chuck! For some reason, we have been missing each other in the latest support groups, IDK why. Good to see you!
I have been going to the "doctor from hell", my pharmacist calls her "combative", lol, wouldn't you know it would happen to me? All the good doctors, and I end up with a patient's worst nightmare for a doctor!
Not anymore. That's about to change. Now back to the meds. So, my biggest problem, I have been taking these meds together in the am:
Nature-Throid, HCTZ, a probiotic capsule, and Wellbutrin ( I go off and on it often, take WB vacations). I take them on an empty stomach, been doing this for years. I didn't think it would matter as long as I took them all at once first thing when I wake up.

Is it ok to take the probiotic capsule with the Nature-throid, since they are both supposed to be take on an empty stomach first thing in the a.m.?
