> I've had terrible headaches since a starting effexor a week ago. I'm thinking of asking my doc if I could try wellbutrin for my depression because I can't stand these headaches. How has wellbutrin worked for YOUR depression?

Hi,

Have you tried normal SSRI's like Lexapro, Celexa or Zoloft? These are usually tried first for mild to moderate forms of depression. Effexor is a stronger med that works better for moderate to severe forms of depression. It is generally not used first because it has bad withdrawl symptoms. Wellbutrin is a very mild AD for mild depression & is usually added to SSRI's to boost energy & relieve SSRI induced apathy & sexual disfunction problems.

Cheers,
Panda.
