I'm really annoyed cos i really wanted the Wellbutrin to work as well. Do you think I gave it sufficient time to work ? Do you think those side effects would have disappeared if I had just stuck with it ? I keep reading about its excellent properties as an AD and i desperately want my share of them . What do I do, start taking them again or just forget about it ?

Hi:I am looking at going back on my combo of Wellbutrin, Effexor, and Depakote. You may want to try adding Depakote to your mix, as I found it tamed the wild mood swings the Wellbutrin AND Effexor brought on. It's tricky, because you have to start at a low dose, and make sure the Depakote doesn't go too high a dose, because it can mess with the depression and fatigue.
I can say it really did have an amazing effect, and it was the combination I believe that did it.
Good luck!
Jay
