I too have lost my desire to drink alcohol while taking wellbrutin

I'm male 57 years old and I been an every day drinker for over 2 decades vodka was my drug of choice. It was always easy to quit but staying quit was my problem. I quit drinking a few months ago and also saw my doctor at the same time for depression. I notice after being on wellbrutin for just a few days a lost cravings for a lot of stuff, including alcohol. Again drugs react different for everyone and you should always talk with your doctor, however its not always that easy and sometime you have to do research of you own to understand what meds to what. I also take 5 HTP to help boost my serotonin as the wellbrutin is working on dopamine levels. Also I've been on xanax 1mg a day and I needed to take it with the wellbrutin as it acts as a stimulant and can increase irritability I'm feeling better but wouldn't say a feel great but much better and not drinking is great.
