In reply to Any one with good/bad exp. w/ Wellbutrin?, posted by hf on May 12, 2001, at 11:24:53
Hi -
I am on 300 mg of Wellbutrin, and I have also just come off of Effexor. It's been about 3 or 4 weeks for me as well. So I guess we were both suffering at the same time! (UGH.) But we made it.Anyway, I was taking the Wellbutrin and Effexor together, and stayed on the Wellbutrin while going off Effexor. I have no bad side effects at all from the Wellbutrin, but it isn't really enough alone to help with my depression (I have been seeking some alternatives to SSRIs since I don't tolerate them well).
I have been on Wellbutrin in the past and then gone off of it to get pregnant -- I had NO problems at all with withdrawal symptoms. All in all, Wellbutrin has been very kind to me! In your case, I wouldn't hesitate to go back on it; it could give you the support you need right now.
Good luck, and keep me posted on what you decide to do -
-cindy> Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with Wellbutrin? I am now off of EXR for 3 weeks and am sort of getting over the withdrawls however, I am noticing that I am also having some of the depression coming back. I was on 375 mg of EXR plus 175 mg Wellbutrin 2x/day. I stopped both but now am wondering if I should stay on the Wellbutrin for a while by itself. After the AWFUL withdrawls from EXR, I don't want to get back into something that will do the same thing to me. Does anyone have any experience as to what WB's side effects are and any problem with withdrawl from it? And how it has helped them? Or not?
