In reply to Nuts on Wellbutrin - help!, posted by starflower on April 20, 2004, at 1:00:50
Hi Starflower,
One possibility is that your med just isn't as effective around the time of your period. I'm on 20 mgs of Lexapro and 150 mgs of Wellbutrin SR. But both seem to not work when my period hits. It's very frustrating because all of my old depression/anxiety symptoms return during the week of my period and that may be what's happening to you. (Oddly, I found that taking an Advil helps - for you Tylenol seems to work. My doc can't explain it.)
The lower dose may help, give it a few weeks and see how you feel. If your still not doing well...this probably isn't the right med for you. Keep an eye on it and see if the same thing happens when you get your period next month.
K.
