is there anyone taking welbutrin for depression and anxiety?
im now going on my 8 day taking it it starting to help when i take it i get energy then after a few hours i dont i take one once also at night time im hoping this weird feeling goes away after a while. i have a doc app in a week just want to see how other people feel when taking this. im taking 75mg twice a day
I take generic Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) with dinner, for depression and anxiety. I’ve been taking that for over two years, and it’s working very well for me.
The Wellbutrin SR seems to help me to be more alert and active – and wanting to do things – while the Lexapro makes me more mellow, and it helps me sleep better, too. They are relatively low doses of each medication, which keeps side effects at a minimum. I really can’t tell I’m taking any medication at all.
There are a lot of people that take Wellbutrin with their SSRI’s, it helps to counteract some of the possible side effects – such as drowsiness, weight gain, and the sexual side effects. It really does make a difference!!

My only experiences with wellbutrin were negative. My husband was on it for a time and it turned him into a monster, because it doesn’t help with anxiety, it made it worse A neighbor tried it and quit (he took it for smoking cessation) and his comment was that if that was how he had to feel on the drug he would quit smoking on his own.
If you are having any negative effects at all be sure to tell the doctor, he can lower the dosage or take you off it gradually. Do not try to stop any psyche drug on your own, you could wind up with severe side effects including overwhelming suicidal depression.
