In reply to considering effexor xr, posted by depressedandgad on May 17, 2004, at 9:48:43
Well, I am on both at the moment. I started on effexor xr - the side effects took an awfully long time to subside. I actually did really well on it for my bipolar2, GAD and panic attacks, but I could not tolerate a higher dosage (i.e. 150mg). So we dropped the effexor down to 112.5mg and added wellbutrin xl, now at 300mg once a day.
I am very happy so far with the results. Even given how rocky my beginnings were with effexor, it has really helped me tremendously and I'm glad I stuck with it.
Good luck,
partlycloudy
