Has anyone had a good effect with a Prozac & Wellbutrin SR combo? I am taking 20 mg Prozac and 100 mg Wellbutrin in the a.m., and 100 mg Wellbutrin in pm. I am hoping this will help with my anxiety and depression, which is caused by post-traumatic stress, etc. I also have mild OCD, but have begun to think about dead people a lot. None that I know, but I get anxious before going into a public bathroom stall and things like that, because I think there may be someone in there that is dead, either through homicide or suicide. It is creeping me out. Hopefully Prozac will make this go away.
I initially started on Prozac, but switched to Serzone because of the sexual side effects of Prozac. Serzone didn't work at all for me.
Thanks for the advice!
Mary Ann

Unless you can get up to a moderate dose of Prozac, I cannot see why your OCD symptoms will go away. Wellbutrin cannot work for OCD because it only works on dopamine.

What is considered a moderate dose of Prozac?

60 mg is in my opinion the dose needed for maximum OCD relief; 80 mg is the maximum.

Mary Ann:
I am on Sarafem (Prozac 20mg I take at night) and Wellbutrin 100mg a day (which I take in the morning) and the combo has been great! I am on Sarafem for PMS but "OH MY GODDESS" does it help with anxiety!! I never knew I suffered from anxiety, I just thought I was a type A personality who was an over achiever, who was pissed off!! But now I know better....I've been on the Sarafem for 2 months and the WB for 2 Weeks, email me if you want to talk in detail! Good luck!
