Question : My husband has had 2 strokes and has been prescribed Wellbutrin HLC SR 100 mg. He began taking 2 other pills: Elite Pro which consists of 1145 mg of L-Arginine & Testrot 3 which consists of 809 mg or the aforementioned L-Arginine + Alphe Ketoglutarate & monohydrochloride. I am seeing anger issues. Is it because these drugs should not be taken together?
Brief Answer:
No interactions, stroke more likely to be the cause, but also Testro T3
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Regarding the possibility of the medications interacting with each other the answer would be no, there is no interaction between them, taking them together is not responsible for the anger issues.
As for what the anger issues the most likely cause would be the 2 strokes that he's had. Stroke is often associated with changes in behavior, anger issues included, so it would be the most likely suspect.
Another possibility (but which I do not consider that likely) would be a side effect of Testro T3. It boosts testosterone levels (at least it claims to) which if too high may lead to anger issues. It's tough to say with such nutritional supplements as they are not properly studied, not undergoing the same controls other drugs have and often the only source for us physicians is what the manufacturer claims. However as I said I wouldn't consider it to be a likely source of the anger issues, only a possibility to be considered, perhaps not being a vital drug it could be temporarily be interrupted to see what happens.
