I have been taking Welbutrin XL 300 and Zonegran for almost a year now. I take Welbutrin for severe depression and Zonegran for migraines. With this combination of drugs I have felt better than I can remember ever feeling. I actually feel like doing something when I wake up in the morning. For the first time in my life, I am keeping my house clean and I've been gardening!
Now about side effects--The first week I was on Zonegran I really felt doped up, dizzy, disoriented, and disconnected from the world. But all those feelings diminished. I started with 100 mg for two weeks then went to 200 mg. During the first two months I was on the 200 mg dosage I lost 20 pounds. (I weighed 300 lbs) Then that side effect subsided. Six months ago, I started taking 300 mg and I have lost maybe one pound a month. I go back to the doctor in September and I think he will up me to 400 mg to help me lose more weight. I have no other side effects except for...flowers :-).
