I first was taking remeron and wellbutrin, then i switched to effexor because i started to gain weight. But instead i started to have nightmares and i'm always dehydrated not mentioning constant swetting (never had this problem before!), etc., etc. I can't tell that all that happened with starting Effexor was bad - no, i have positive moments, i dont cry at all, i sleep, etc. Wellbutrin makes me a bit anxious, but i knew that it will be like it, - i need smth like this to stay awake at work and be able to concentrate.

> For the record, I am on 300mg effexor, and 450 mg of Wellbutrin a day, and the only real side effects I have seen have been fatigue, and I admit that is a real pain. ( However I have changed when I take each pill, and the timing change has seemed to make a big difference.
> I have never liked Wellbutrin, I took it years ago and almost immediately I had extremely vivid nightmares/dreams. I agreed to give it another shot this time, and although it has taken much longer to show up, I am back in the dream/nightmare phase again. I was set to see my Doc today, but because of a death in his family, it had to be rescheduled. He advised me to taper down off the Wellbutrin, but I dropped it altogether. Dreams are too vivid, and some things I dream about are forcing me to relive some terrible experiences. In my case, for the wellbutrin, it seems the cure is worse than the disease. I am definitely going to discuss the withdrawals that I have seen mentioned here on effexor with him, I'll have to decide what to do there, as the effexor has helped alot over the last 6 months.
> Obviously, everyone reacts differently to medication, I wish all of you the very best when dealing with this crap. The goal is to get better, and I fail to see how this is possible when you are fighting off effects of your medication instead of battling the original problem.
