Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Wellbutrin is a serotonergic antidepressant drug. Ambien is Zolpidem and the drug is a sleep drug belonging to Z-drugs class. Both drugs have different mechanisms of action. There is no contradiction in taking both these drugs together. You can take the medicines together in evening without any fear as per your prescription.

Thanks, hope this helps you
