In reply to Wellbutrin, Buspar and sleep....possible?, posted by Alii on February 12, 2001, at 10:53:15
Alli, I take Wellbutrin and Buspar. I usually don't have sleeping problems. Well, anymore.
I am super-sensitive to anti-depressants. One thing I have learned is, is to start small and take it slow. And you probably know this, don't take them late in the day! When I started, I took a 100 mg pill early in the a.m. for the first few weeks.
The thing about Wellbutrin is that it does work, but it takes a while. Slowly, but surely. At first, it will make you nervous and crabby. It will get better.
The Buspar, I believe, augments it. I take Lorezapam (Ativan) as needed and that seems to go good with the Wellbutrin.
Before changing meds, if weight gain is an issue, check into them first. If not, then okay. I know for as good as I feel now, if I gained weight because of an AD, I'd surely slip right back into my funk.
Hang in there. Believe in yourself.
