I Took the wrong pills any pharmacists out in that?
I know better than to keep ancient meds around but I did it anyway.
Also, I take Lisinopril. Can Lisinapril lead to the Lexapro to metabilize faster in my system giving me the typical side effect of stopping Lexapro which is "brain shivers" or "brain zaps"
Answer:
Upon researching the pill you took(zyban/bupropion) in attendance shouldn't be any side effects between it and the other two drugs. The isoenzyme that metabolises bupropion is different from that of lexapro (although both are oxidised by the P450 cytochrome). Lisinopril is a ACE inhibitor so there shouldn't be any adverse reaction although if you do notice anything budge to the hospital.
As for the second question if your doctor prescribed you both of those medicine im sure he considered the possible drug interactions. There should be no interaction between lisinopril and lexapro at all. Both own totally different methods of action, one is a ACE inhibitor and the other a SSRI so I dont see any possible drug-drug interaction.
I hope this help.
call 911 or your local emergency and narrate them what you took and ask if this is something worth checking into the hospital for..
Call the local hospital.
They will have an onduty pharmasicst or on duty RN for such question.
If they advise you to obtain in to the hospital... be in motion.
If they advise you to donate your address so they can send an ambulance... do it.
I'm not sure in the region of the interactions, but bupropion does not come in a strength that low. The lowest strength of bupropion is 100mg, not 10. However, it is completely possible that you took a lisinopril instead of your Lexapro, because lisinopril does come that low; in reality, it comes as low as 2.5mg dosages. If you take lisinopril 10mg, you may enjoy confused them becuase they probably look very, impressively similar - they're both small, round white tablets (at least I assume that the lisinopril is). Taking too much BP medication can cause nouns, so you may have feel woozy because of that.
Other than that, I agree with the others: if you're a bundle of nerves about it, call upon something like Ask-A-Nurse or a poison control center, even a local emergency room. They would know how to help you.
