Question
Eric
I am a 45 year old male.My doctor has run lots of tests and says I am fine,but he cant help with my slow metabolism.If I eat more than 1500 calories a day I gain weight.
I also have constant muscle and joint pain.It helps to lift weights and jog- which I do.I recently began taking Ginko-this seems to help my cold hands and feet,but I am worried it may interact with the Wellbutrin I am taking?
Hi Barry,
There are ports that both Wellbutrin and Ginkgo may lower the seizure threshhold. The combination may be additive and could be problematic if you are susceptible to seizures. I would advise against the combination.
