So Yea, for an update; I am now taking 150 mg wellbutrin SR twice a day and 10 mg of adderral xr twice a day. So far the Wellbutrin has helped tremendously with the depression compared to Lexapro which at no matter what dosage I still felt down. The only thing about the Wellbutrin is it is taking me a while to adjust, I was really nauseous the first week and getting that watery feeling in my head...kinda dizzy--the weird feeling when you're withdrawing from an anti-depressant. Anyways, the nausea is now gone and the watery feeling is still around but not as bad as before. The doc told me I need to give it at least a month before it kicks in, which I am definitely doing. But I just wanted to say that I am really excited that Wellbutrin actually functions properly with my body to even out my depression, it's pretty cool! I don't know about all the dexedrine mentioned earlier in these posts, I've heard it's highly addictive and more of a weight-loss med than concentration...but I obviously don't know all of the facts, so hah, just throwing it out there. kk, take care all
