In reply to Re: Effexor XR plus Wellbutrin SR - anybody?, posted by gadman on March 12, 2005, at 8:24:41
Hi,
I haven't been on the board in a while. I tapered off Effexor about 4 months ago and felt fine for about 1. However, I noticed my symptoms creeping back (no appetite, suicidal thoughts, loss of concentration) It was very subtle. So, I went to my Doc and he said he wanted to try Wellbutrin, however I have found Wellbutrin alone (been on for about 7 weeks)does help with the depression, but makes me hostile and I have frequent thoughts of strangling myself or hurting myself. I don't feel prompted to act on them, but they are strange. Also, I have paralyzing morning anxiety. I did fine of Effexor except for the 40+ pound weight gain. I'm thinking I'd rather be fat and happy at this point. Sooo, I was thinking of adding back Effexor at the smaller dosage to see if it helps with anger, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety. Oh, and I take Klonopin for anxiety as needed which is every day! Everyone-keep updated on the Wellbutrin/Effexor mix as I will if I try it! Thanks!
