In reply to Lexapro and Welbutrin withdrawal, posted by weky on January 25, 2004, at 16:49:55
I thought it was interesting to see your post, because I have (almost) just finished tapering off Lexapro while staying on Wellbutrin.
I was on Lex 20 mg for like 8 months... An orgasm was a long time coming, like a really long time. Also, I would wake myself up by talking loudly in my sleep many times in a night. Also put on some weight a few months ago out of the blue.
I started WB XL 300 mg/day to try and offset some of these side effects. I felt less depressed, but the side effects continued, so I have been tapering off the Lexapro.
I am now taking 5 mg every other day, and I will probably quit completely in a few days. Already, after only 2 weeks of lowering the Lex dose, I can reach orgasm in a normal period of time and I don't wake myself up in my sleep. Hooray! Now we will see what effects the WB has on me...
Hope this helps. Good luck!
