In reply to has Wellbutrin helped your depression?, posted by artofhands on March 9, 2004, at 23:01:53
I don't normally think of Wellbutrin as an AD, but more as an ADHD med. I have taken it alone in the past for ADHD, but it made me extremely jittery and irritable. Recently I've used a very small amount to reverse some of the sexual side effects of Effexor and it worked very well, no pun intended...
My *opinion* is that there are better meds available for depression than Wellbutrin. Effexor is EXCELLENT. The headaches and other side effects moderate and go away with time. One week is not enough time for your body to get used to the med. Your brain needs more time to adjust to the different chemical balance.
Good luck!

> 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?
