In reply to Prozac Wellbutrin??? Is this a good combo?, posted by woolav on August 12, 2004, at 18:04:31
I was taking exactly your same 3. Prozac was supposed to have an "up" effect. I barely felt anyting from the prozac. I then went on Wellbutrin and it really lifted me. I then quit taking the prozac beacuse it was doing nothing for me.
The wellbutrin increased my anxiet substantially. Xanax will help offset the anxiety however I seldom use it.
Currently I am accepting the anxiety with the wellbutrin because the wellbutrin gave me a life back.
Regarding anxiety and depression are are2 types of p-docs. There are lumpers and splitters. Some split up the two and treat them differently. Some lump anxiety and depression and treat htem the same. Anxiety and depression are very closely related in the brain.
I've tried both and prefer the lumping the two together. I find that reducing depression gives me more energy and I do more. When I do more I reduce anxiety.
I find the lamictal boosts the effects of my other meds.It also seditates me slightly.
I spent 6 months participating in a anxiety recovery clinic. This therapy had the greatest impact on my anxiety reduction.
