Is there an interaction between Garcinia (Perdislim) and bupropion (Wellbutrim)?

37-year-old womana year ago

Hello, I take Wellbutrin XL 150 mg every morning with omega-3, folic acid, micronor in the evening and magnesium bisglycinate before bedtime. Before the wellbutrin, I was taking Perdislim (which contains 600 mg of garcinia cambogia and 10 mg of vitamin b5 for 1 capsule) at a rate of 3 per day (suggested dosage). I know it doesn't interfere with the other supplements I'm taking or the micronor but what about the antidepressant?

Hello,

No, there is no interaction between all these products.

I thought garcinia provided serotonin and so did wellbutrin...I didn't want to get an overdose...

Sarah-Yan Chagnon · a year ago

Wellbutrim does not act on serotonin. It acts by increasing norepinephrine and slightly increasing dopamine concentrations in the brain. Thus, there is no additive effect with garcinia.

Note that since garcinia has not been studied much, I have not found a recommended dosage. Thus, I am not able to tell you if the dose you are taking is safe or not.

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
