Re: Effexor XR VERSUS Lexapro/Wellbutrin

In reply to Effexor XR VERSUS Lexapro/Wellbutrin, posted by bipolarspectrum on March 25, 2004, at 16:46:18

One of Effexor's side effects is insomnia so... I tried Effexor because it sedated me, especially in the non-XR formula. Past 300mg daily I guess I did feel an increase in energy. Yeah, that energy shot my blood pressure up way way high. I would push Effexor to the back of the list of AD's to try unless you need a heavy hitter with anxiety. Lot's of freaky side effects and the withdrawal can scare you.

> Hello,
> I've been on lexapro (20-40 mg) with wellbutrin XL (150 mg).. I found that the lexapro was a nice feeling but only lasted a couple hours after i took it, plus i had great difficulty sleeping... I also tried Lexapro without Wellbutrin, which was a great failure.. I'm wondering if Effexor ER, with its norepinephrine, may provide the best of both worlds, helping the nice feeling last longer without the insomnia...
> Thanx for the read
