Hello!
I just came across this thread as I was doing some research and found many of your postings to be helpful. I have a question...
I have been taking Wellbutrin for about six months and it has worked for my depression wonderfully. My feelings of hopelessness are gone and the side effects are actually a pleasure... The increased energy alone helps me get out of bed every morning...
My problem is that aside from depression I also suffer from anxiety. I thought after the pills started working this would subside as well, but it hasn't. I have read that Zoloft can be helpful in treating anxiety and was wondering if anyone is taking it for anxiety while taking Wellbutrin. I'm scared of the side effects from SSRI's and can't decide if it is worth tampering with my current situation.
I've also read (maybe in this thread) that Wellbutrin may offset many of the side effects i.e. weight gain, sexual side effects etc. Does anyone know if this is true??
Thanks so much!!!
