In reply to starting Wellbutrin--what to expect, posted by jessers11581 on March 28, 2005, at 17:00:47
I had a lifting of depression on Wellbutrin, but became hostile towards my husband, weepy, and anxious. My doctor decided to add Lexapro 3 days ago. The first day I tried 5 milligrams and almost flipped out-hyper anxious, visual disturbances, surreal environment, no sleep. The next day I cut the 10 mg pill into fourths and took a fourth of a pill. This seemed to cause less anxiety (But still have to take Klonopin), so I'll try the quarter pill for a while and go up to the 5 mg again and see what happens. The Wellbutrin anxiety definitely mellows out after about 6 weeks. Although it never totally went away, that's why we're trying to add an SSRI. I'll update on the lexapro/wellbutrin/klonopin combo. Let us know how the Wellbutrin goes with the Lexapro!
