Well, when I went to have the Azilect Rx filled, a contraindication flag came up in the pharmacy computer regarding the Azilect and Wellbutrin and at first the pharmacist refused to fill the Azilect. After much begging and pleading, she finally agreed to fill the Azilect and I promised I would not take any more Wellbutrin until I spoke with my MDS. Problem is, my MDS is at a conference out of the country until the middle of September so I am on hold regarding the Wellbutrin until then. In the meantime, I thought I would check with this forum and see if any of y'all have had any experience with taking Azilect and Wellbutrin concominantly.

I am aware that Azilect (which is an MAO-B inhibitor) should not be taken with an SSRI, but Wellbutrin is an aminoketone. Any info anyone? I am really fermisht about all this.
