No, these medications should not be taken together, since the Naltrexone in the Contrave will neutralize the Codeine and the Caffeine could increase the toxicity of the Bupropion, according to NIH warnings.

Have you consulted your doctor for any recommendations to treat or prevent your migraines?

Are you on any other medications?
