Hi Ricardo -

I was just curious what dose of Wellbutrin you were on. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you - I hope the Effexor does.

Paxil had made me too sleepy and I was having the famous ejaculation delay problem, so my doctor suggested that I take Wellbutrin. At first, I felt great, but I still think it could still be the Paxil working on me. However, still in the first week, I had some rage attacks that really scared me (and others). Those went away, fortunately. About two months later, I had a major relapse of my depression. Depressed as I was, I decided to stop taking it (I had never missed one tablet ever!) Two weeks later, I decided to go back on it. The rage attacks started again, and once again I was scared. This time I decided to quit it once and for all. My therapist says that I might have insisted on it. She believes that it was the circumstances of my life that caused the relapse of my depression, and not the fact that Wellbutrin was uneffective for me. I could have asked my doctor to adjust the dosage, but I didn't. After a short and even more negative attempt with Tofranil, I'm now in my first week on Effexor. So far so good. I'm hopeful this time I'll be able to stay on it. Back to Wellbutrin, I was really sorry that it wasn't effective for me (considering that it really wasn't), because I was hoping to profit from the side-effects as well, such as weight loss and greater libido. However, I lost more weight while on Paxil that on WB. My libido was OK (normal), but I did get impotent once or twice.
