In reply to Effexor XR plus Wellbutrin SR - anybody?, posted by lemon68 on February 18, 2005, at 21:34:22
I haven't tried Effexor and Wellbutrin, because when I was on Effexor, I was told that Wellbutrin was always contraindicated in anyone who had ever had anorexia. I'm now on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin, though, so I'll give you my answer anyway.
Let's see, I have a dx of anxiety disorder not otherwise specified, to go along with depression and (currently active, formerly history of) anorexia nervosa. The Wellbutrin actually seems to help with all of it. Most of my anxiety symptoms are pretty well in remission, and what does come through is usually within the bounds of what I can deal with cognitively.
My full med routine, by the way, is 60 mg Cymbalta, 150mg Wellbutrin XL, and 100mg Provigil.
Hope that helps.
