Hi everyone!
I am a 23 year old male who suffers from depression/anxiety. I have been on quite a few meds already, which kind of sucks being I'm still pretty young. The newest meds that I've been put on are Lexapro 20mg plus Wellbutrin 150mg. I was on Lexapro 20mg for about 2 months and noticed minimal effect. I had days where I felt good, but most of my days were dreary. Motivation was so hard to find. I'm a student, so there were things I HAD to get done, but it was such a chore to do them. I upped my dose to 30mg for a while without my Dr's approval and thought it was starting to work, but then I realized I wasn't feeling the way I felt I should feel. Life shouldn't seem like such a bitch all the time. I recently saw my pdoc and added 150mg of Wellbutrin with only the 20mg of Lexapro. I've only been on it a couple days, so it's too soon to say anything. I felt a little edgy today, but its nothing unbearable.I would like to hear from anyone who has taken this combo of meds. I've seen that most people taking Wellbutrin are at least on 300mg. Does anyone think 150mg is too low of a dose to even notice an affect?
