Cam, I was attempting to reduce my paxil to 10mg and had been taking wellbutrin 150mg. (mostly because I wanted to lose some of the weight I had gained on the paxil) I have been under alot of stress lately and found my depression was returning, ever so slightly, but enough to remind me how much I do not want it back. I spoke to my doctor and he wanted me to go off the wellbutrin and up my dose of paxil back to 20mg. and then 40mg. I have done that. I am feeling better, but not back to my same self. Will I need to wait awhile before the paxil kicks in. I am afraid that I will lose all my benefits from tha paxil or that it has stopped working for me. Any suggestions would help. I wonder if I can stay on the wellbutrin. My doctor thought that serotonin syndrome may result, but I thought the two were different. The wellbutrin helped with my low libido and appetite. My lesson at least is that paxil definitely works best for me. I was hoping to be able to switch over to the wellbutrin completely, but I guess not. Please don't feel like you have to respond, but I feel you take on the psychopharmacology aspect is pretty great. PS I am also from Canada.
