i take remeron ( 90 mg/day ) for about a year and added effexor ( 450 mg/day ) 7 weeks ago. In the 6th week on effexor i felt first benefits. But i smoked as hell. So I added wellbutrin 150 mg/day last week. On the second day with wellbutrin there was a major lift in my depression at midday for about 3 hours.
I never thougt having benefits against depression from wellbutrin. I only take it for quitting smoking.
The feeling doesn´t come again since then. What happened ?Thanks all for your thoughts and input. They are all greatly appreciated.
greetings
Andy

As someone once said, there is quite a bit of 'art' in the field of psychiatry, along with specialized knowledge. It takes a tornado like experience until we often find either the drug, or combo of drugs. Basically, what ever is doing the best for you, is not to switch or change. I have always said about 1 year is a thorough trial of medications.Best,
Jay

Hello Jay,
thank you for the answer. You´re right. I should not change or switch. It was just curios.
