This sounds very much like my experience with Effexor. No Wellbutrin was added in my case, and I had no strange dreams. It was after my dosage was increased from 75 to 150 that I started getting more depressed, almost suicidal. I didn't realize that the Effexor was causing me to be tired all the time, disinterested in everything. Most people would assume it was the initial depression coming back, and raise the dose rather than lowering it, or adding yet another medication to the mix. It was this BB that saved me, and I discovered I was not alone. It wasn't me, it was the medication. I have never been happier than I have been since I got off the Effexor, at least after the withdrawal was over.
