What do you know about....

Posted by Noa on March 2, 2000, at 14:17:51

Wellbutrin, for instance?

At what point do I say the effexor isn't doing it for me. I mean, it has been working, but what is it with these new episodes? And if these episodes reflect a cycling a la bipolar family, why isn't the lithium helping. I did feel better initially with the lithium, but not anymore.

So, I wonder if it is time to move on. I never gave Welbutrin a proper trial. It was a few years back, in combo with paxil, and I got diarrhea, which I attributed to the wellbutrin, but it all happened so fast, I realy am not sure. At the time, I also didn't like the Wellbutrin because you had to dose three times a day, and I was still spoiled by the single dose prozac,etc. Needless to say, with all I am on now, dosing three times a day really wouldn't matter.

How do people feel about wellbutrin? Especially for an obviously refractory depression.

I don't think I want to go with an MAOI, and the only time I took a tricyclic I wigged out bad on a small initial dose. The other SSRIs? I don't know if they offer anything new for me. Does Wellbutrin?

Is it worth trying? How would one do this--tapering off effexor? I assume it would be ok to overlap at some point.
