In reply to My Wellbutrin experience, what next?, posted by angelrose on October 18, 2000, at 11:13:04
> Hi to all--
> Wellbutrin has proven to be quite innefective for me, and that is putting it mildly. This is probably the worst med. experience with the exception of Anafranil.

I cannot wait four weeks for the Wellbutrin to maybe stabilize itself. I have too many responsibilities, including being a Mom, which the most important one, of course.

He was relunctant to give me anything else, he urged me to see a Pdoc instead. I was lucky to find one that was even taking new patients. There was only one in this area that was and for that I have to wait about 3 weeks. That't pretty crazy to me.

Wellbutrin made me a nervous wreck and I couldn't sleep and had similar effects that you had. I gave it enough time, too, but if a medicine is making me completley beserk now I will go off of it-even if I have to wean myself off slowly. I am now taking paxil and effexor-so far so good. The best combo. I've had yet. One is to treat an anxiety disorder (paxil for the ocd) and the other for depression. Good luck!!
