In reply to New to site...Would like advice on Effexor/WellBut, posted by JLC on February 27, 2002, at 6:58:53
Weight gain and lack of sex drive are common problems with many antidepressants. Wellbutrin oftentimes minimizes these side effects which in your case are being caused by Effexor. Ask your doctor if he thinks that increasing the dose of Wellbutrin might help you.
Are you exercising or have you tried a program such as weight watchers?
I think that quitting the Effexor could be a major risk for you. What if you can't find a different medication to control your depression?
