Re: Effexor - lack of complete relief (Wellbutrin?)

In reply to Effexor - lack of complete relief (Wellbutrin?), posted by leighton77 on February 20, 2001, at 20:11:41

> I have been on Effexor for about 2 mos. First at 37.5, then 75, then 150 mg/day. I have noticed a somewhat improved mood but not that total "brand new world" or "old self again" feeling that people seem to ascribe to relief provided by a med that really works for them. At the same time, I have had insomnia in the form of frequent waking up, drowsiness during the day, and no real improvement for my motivation/concentration levels during the day. I am wondering if Effexor is just not right for me and I should get off it now and switch to something with more of a stimulant effect like Wellbutrin. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated. Thanks


Hi.

You may want to consider simply adding Wellbutrin to Effexor rather than switch. A friend of mine who described the same predicament ended up with a combination regimen of Effexor and Wellbutrin 150mg. It is a logical thing to do.
