Can Wellbutrin XL (bupropion hydrochloride) make your blood alcohol
content higher than if you hadn't taken it?  Can Clonopin
(clonazapam), Trazadone, or Cytomel make the reading higher than if you hadn't
taken them?
Thank you very much.

WELLBUTRIN XL is not for everyone. There is a risk of seizure with
WELLBUTRIN XL which increases with higher doses. Taking more than 450
mg/day increases the chance of serious side effects. Don?t use it if
you?ve had a seizure or eating disorder, or if you abruptly stop using
alcohol or sedatives. Don?t take with MAOIs, or medicines that contain
bupropion. When used with a nicotine patch or alone, there is a risk
of increased blood pressure, sometimes severe. To reduce risk of
serious side effects, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney
problems. Other side effects may include weight loss, dry mouth,
nausea, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, or sore throat.

Do not drink a lot of alcohol while taking WELLBUTRIN XL. If you
usually drink a lot of alcohol, talk with your doctor before suddenly
stopping. If you suddenly stop drinking alcohol, you may increase your
chance of having seizures.
Patients should be told that the excessive use or abrupt
discontinuation of alcohol or sedatives (including benzodiazepines)
may alter the seizure threshold. Some patients have reported lower
alcohol tolerance during treatment with WELLBUTRIN XL. Patients should
be advised that the consumption of alcohol should be minimized or
avoided.

By making the reading higher, are you talking about when the cops
breath test you? Or are you talking about getting drunk more easily.

It's best to avoid drinking heavily with any psychoactive drug,
whether used as an antidepressant, anxiolyic or antipsychotic.

If you're just starting a medication, try not to drink at all (unless
you're an alcoholic - don't stop suddenly!) until you get a feel for
how the medication affects you.

You may get/feel drunk more easily on those medications. They
shouldn't affect your BAC much though.

Taking meds is no excuse for being over the limit if you're caught by
a policeman! If they do increase your BAC, then you'll be feeling it
too. When you get a breath test, it's not how much you drink, but how
'drunk' your body is.
