> What dose of Paxil are you taking?
I've been on 10mg for 8 days. I just saw my pdoc today and she's adding 75mg of Wellbutrin to mitigate some of the Paxil side effects, namely fatigue and loss of libido. So even though I was supposed to double my dose of Paxil this week, she's going to keep me on the lower dosage and see how the Wellbutrin works with it. I'm a little nervous about taking the Wellbutrin because I've read that it can be anxiety causing. But I'm going to give it a try. And hey, it might help me quit smoking too! I don't know anything about weight gain with Wellbutrin and Paxil combined. I feel like I've been on this drug and therapy rollercoaster for the past two months and would just like to find something that works for me. My disability ends Jan 5 so I'm also really nervous about going back to work without having found medication that really addresses my problems without terrible side effects.
Okay, that was a really long answer to your concise question. Why do you ask? What's your experience been? I'm really trying to gather as much information as possible!
