I was taking 300mg Effexor and 300 mg of Wellbutrin. As well as 30 mg of Deplin (folic acid deficiency), 10 mg Dexedrine (ADD and just to keep me awake), and Xanax as needed. With regards to the Effexor and Wellbutrin it wasn't enough, I wasn't remotely "happy" but I managed. Unfortunately managing is now what I've learned to be grateful for. Effexor felt like a horse tranquilizer to me but my suicidal thoughts lessened. Wellbutrin gave me a bit more energy and I found myself with a bit more motivation which is why I am so disappointed that I had that bizarre skin reaction, I wanted to up the dose to 400mg. My ongoing issue is that my brain desperately needs more meds but my body has such severe reactions and side effects I can never get to an effective dose.> oh, wow. Welcome to Psychobabble, btw.
