Kaysey,
Ok, I've had another week to try to find this elusive med balance, and I'm a little closer than before.
Right now I'm sticking with 75mg Effexor XR in the morning, 100mg Wellbutrin SR at noon, and another dose of Wellbutrin around 7.
Moving my first Wellbutrin dose from breakfast to noon has helped the most. I actually felt groggier than ever when I took it in the morning. Maybe it's a circadian rhythm thing. I'm sleeping a whole lot better now, remembering my dreams, but I still don't feel quite right. I feel more awake, but also more anxious; I wonder sometimes if boosting my Effexor dose significantly, all the way back up to 225, would be a good thing, with the Wellbutrin as balance. On the other hand, I feel more aware, more alive on 75mg. Maybe the drop in the Effexor dose was all I needed? Maybe the Wellbutrin is hurting more than it's helping? ..sigh..
So, like I said, I'm closer...but not quite where I'd like to be.
When you get a chance, let me know how you're doing. I'd like to hear.
Best,
-pm
