I probably should have clarified my history with the Lexapro. I'd been taking 10 mg for a year. There were times when I forgot to take it for days at a time and I never noticed any physical effects because of it. The only time I ever felt bad was when I had not taken it for a full week and I noticed I had a headache and was aggravated. It was pretty minor; after taking a dose I was fine the next day.

So - back to my current dilemna. I cut down to 5 mg of Lexapro when I started the Wellbutrin. I've checked with both a doctor and pharmacist about weaning myself off the Lexapro. Everything seemed fine up until yesterday when I took 300 mg of Wellbutrin.

The prescribing doc said to try 150 morning and night instead of the 300 mg in the morning. I just took the nightly dose, so we'll see if I'm up in three hours visiting my toilet bowl.

I'm really hoping I had some strange 18 hour bug yesterday because I had high hopes of the Wellbutrin working for me. The fever/chills/vomiting is a RARE side effect of Wellbutrin and I'd hate to be the 1 in 1 million people who got it.
