> Have you ever tried ssri's? My doctor wants me to take Lexipro with the wellbutrin, I'm not sure why though.
I absolutely cannot take SSRIs. I took Paxil for 6 weeks and felt progressively worse. My boss was constantly breathing down my back to get work done, and I just could not stay at task. I am fairly certain that I was not having REM sleep. When I went off Paxil I experienced hypomania, which was fun and actually made me feel a lot better. My concentration improved after I went off Paxil, but I wasn't 100%. That is the first time I went on Wellbutrin SR. I started off at 100mg x 2 for a month, then went up to 150mg x 2. A month later I felt 100%. I then quit my job and moved 5000 miles to be with a guy I met online. I suppose that does sound a bit bi-polar, LOL.
