In reply to Effexor, Wellbutrin and Provigil. Any feedback?, posted by Clayton on July 11, 2007, at 19:27:41
> HI,
>
> I have been taking Effexor XR for almost a year (300 mg/day)with good results as to its anti-depressant effecacy and with no side effects.
>
> Because I continute to suffer from a lack of energy, my PDoc today added Wellbutrin. He said something to the effect that Wellbutrin can produce an energy boost when taken with Effexor. Does anyone have any experience/feedback on this? I was prescribed Wellbutrin four years ago (in conjunction with Remeron) and it did absoltely nothing for me. No discernable effect at all.

> THe PDoc had also added 100 mg a day of the mild stimulant Provigil. Anyone have any idea as to why? Is it an additional energy booster/motivator?
>
> Interestingly, I had a PDoc 3 years ago (when I had health insurance) who perscribed 300 mg of Provilig to be taken twice a day (upon awaking and at 12:00 noon). For awhile this helped me more than any anti-depressant I've taken but after a week or ten days it became ineffective. Any knowledge/comments you may have on this are greatly appreciated.

> Take Care and Good Luck Everyone.I had a p-doc prescribe Provigil for me after I had taken Adderal XR for several years to boost my antidepressant. It did nothing for me except make me nervous, which the Adderall never did. Just my experience.
