In reply to has Wellbutrin helped your depression?, posted by artofhands on March 9, 2004, at 23:01:53
> I've had terrible headaches since a starting effexor a week ago. I'm thinking of asking my doc if I could try wellbutrin for my depression because I can't stand these headaches. How has wellbutrin worked for YOUR depression?

>Hi,
Have you tried normal SSRI's like Lexapro, Celexa or Zoloft? These are usually tried first for mild to moderate forms of depression. Effexor is a stronger med that works better for moderate to severe forms of depression. It is generally not used first because it has bad withdrawl symptoms. Wellbutrin is a very mild AD for mild depression & is usually added to SSRI's to boost energy & relieve SSRI induced apathy & sexual disfunction problems.
Cheers,
