Brief Answer:
One in 10 patients develop insomnia

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all regarding insomnia with wellbutrin, it is common side effects during initial weeks of treatment. In my experience there is almost 5-10 % risk of developing insomnia with wellbutrin.

Regarding alcohol it should be avoided as far as possible. I must acknowledge that there is no major tisk but substance along with medication never recommended.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards

Thank you doctor. Ur answer was good- but was not complete as to what I had asked . So, please, let me ask another. Re EGD's, for those who need treatment on their esophagus in that way, do you think EGDs are important to have for safety? &, More important, can the EGD help nausea or queasiness? Thank you

Brief Answer:
No it unlikely to help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Regarding your current question I do not think EGD can help in nausea and queasiness. This is because EGD is diagnostic procedure and have little role in treatment of minor conditions such as nausea or queasiness.

At the same time EGD have clear indications and If somebody needs treatment over eosophagus, it can be used to ensure safety.

I hope this helps you further.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
