In reply to Need help with Wellbutrin! Trouble with s/e's, posted by sac on March 25, 2005, at 14:24:10
> Hi, I have multiple questions regarding Wellbutrin. This is my 5th trial with the medication as I really want it to work. I am currently on Prozac and Lithium for bipolar II. Trouble is, I still have lack of motivation, anhedonia, difficulty concentrating. I though Wellbutrin might help and tried it several years ago. I was so stimulated and aggressive on the immediate release (what scared me was that I kept wanting to keep taking it though). I finally switched to 100 mgs. of the SR version and was so anxious I couldn't stand it (I was even taking oxazepam and the anxiety was still overwhelming) I was also nasty on this one as well. As most of you probably know from your own experiences, I have jumped around from so many different meds trying to find the right combo. I'm back to trying the wb again for the fifth time and , again, I feel like I could kill someone. Should I throw in the towel with this one? How long does this side effect last? Please help. Thanks.
What time of day do you take the Wellbutrin? I am on the Wellbutrin XL, which I take along with Cymbalta and Trileptal. So far, so good. (My appetite, which was up on Cymbalta, seems to be normalizing.)
What is your Lithium dosage? Would it help to increase that?
