> I don't know if Effexor/Wellbutrin is a safe combo but Wellbutrin is highly stimulating.
Good point (and yes, it is a safe combo; it's been used often).
> I don't know where your doc is coming from - lots of meds make people sleepy but they still work on the problem. For example, Percoset makes people sleepy but it still relieves pain.
I never took Percocet (oxycodone + Tylenol) specifically, but opioids in general are stimulating for me, not sedating -- just as Effexor (which has a reptutation for being stimulating) is sedating for delna).
> And it's so HARD to find an A/D that works, it seems crazy to switch you if you're having such positive results.
