I am guessing that the blood in your stool was due to straining from being constipated. You may have a hemorrhoid from the straining. Stool softners would help this. Use a hemorrhoidal cream and suppository. Keep taking in fiber, exercise, and drink plenty of water. Don't increase the fiber too fast. It can make you more constipated with out drinking enough fluids. Also, you may have terrible gas or diarrhea problems. Fiber has to be increased gradually. The body has to adjust to it.

I am not surprised you are having insomnia. Effexor and wellbutrin have this side effect. You may need a med for sleep like trazodone or sequel (sp?). Other folks like using two 25 mg tablets of benadryl or tylenol PM for insomnia.

The increase in hunger may be due to the effexor, but the wellbutrin may keep the weight normal.

I am glad you don't have headaches now. This may have been due to dosage adjustment. Hopefully, you will not have any more.
