In reply to strattera AND effexor AND wellbutrin?, posted by lisaj32 on June 21, 2004, at 19:29:21
what are your doses?
That is odd. No doctor I have known would put someone on all of them at once. is this a psychiatrist? Does this person specialize in ADD?
that is a lot of norepinephrine effect.
wellbutrin and strattera, though quite different, both have very similar effects on NE according to my pdoc and combining them would not be smart with most people.
Effexor works on NE at higher doses at 150mg+
your pdoc should cross taper you on your meds, and he or she needs to be able to know how a med is doing on its own roughly each time you try something new.
for most people, when something does not work they get off it instead of leaving it there.
are you taking WB or Efex for anything else?
You should check out Dr. Amen's website to see what kind of ADD you have because some meds are better than others for certain types that coexist with depression or epilepsy, etc.
Good luck!
