In reply to Wellbutrin, posted by Simus on March 17, 2004, at 22:37:27
Good luck, good luck, good luck! I have 2 friends who take Wellbutrin only for anxiety & depression and they do really well on it. They don't seem to feel as flat or numb or floaty as I sometimes feel on the Lex. They don't have insomnia or inorgasmia either & I think their energy is better. They're in the midst of menopause, too, so I figure they've got more to fight than just average everyday depression like I have :-). I hope you have the same results!
I understand the guinea pig thing (no need to say sorry!), I hear a lot of that on this site. I guess it's part of the deal?!? I started taking gingko biloba, omega 3 & extra B and it seems to have helped. Just a thought. Keep me posted and take good care!!

Today my doctor told me to stop Lexapro completely. He gave me samples of Wellbutrin to start on tomorrow. He wants to see how I respond to Wellbutrin alone. Then, he said it was possible that he may add in the Lexapro again, depending what the results are with the Wellbutrin. I am starting to feel like a guinea pig...a very depressed, numb, vegetative guinea pig. (Sorry.) I will keep you posted as to how it goes.
