> I just started Wellbutrin(150mg) 3 days ago. I feel high as a kite! Just as if on Speed. Not hungry & my mouth runs 90 to nothing. My doctor also put me on Neurontin, (900mgs a day.) If anybody has taken these two drugs to gether,Please let me know how you felt!
I've been on both now for many months - 300 Wellbutrin SR, 2400 Neurontin. It has been a very helpful combo of drugs. The Wellbutrin gives me a kick so I can get moving. I was having a pretty debilitating episode of depression this past spring, Effexor was making it worse. We added the Neurontin because I was having too many bad mood swings, and that did the trick. It doesn't keep me from >never< feeling bad, but it has stabilized my moods very well.
I think if youre already enervated, the Wellbutrin may make things worse, but for my type of depression, it was right.
As for SalArmy's addition in this thread, I would find it VERY hard to believe that it was the Neurontin that made you feel high, it's prescribed to do just the opposite... Just my experience and from the reading I've done...
Hope you feel better PJKirby!
