In reply to Experiences with Lexapro and Wellbutrin requested, posted by shadows721 on November 18, 2003, at 23:53:03
I was on Wellbutrin for depression twice, in 1999 and 2001. The first time it worked great, but the second time I had the same problem you mention here. Increased anxiety (which sucked because I already had minor anxiety to begin with) and that disconnected/spacy feeling. I felt like I was a detached observer of everything going on around me. It really freaked me out so I discontinued the Wellbutrin after about 2 months.
> I recently added Wellbutrin to the lexapro to help with the sexual side effects and fatigue. I have been on the lexapro for 5 weeks and wellbutrin for 1-1/2weeks. I feel disconnected from things. I feel really spacy. I also have more anxiety due to the Wellbutrin. Has anyone had this experience? I am trying to hang on to the Wellbutrin for a few more weeks, but it is really difficult. I have read on other websites that the anxiety from Wellbutrin does subside around 3 - 4 weeks. I also noted my hands have a tremor. All experiences will be deeply appreciated.
