Wellbutrin is a great drug for a lot of people. Then are are some like me who get a bit too jittery on it.
> I am currently on 30mg of Lexapro and when I asked my pdoc for an increase which I read online that 40mg is typically the highest recommeded max dose, my pdoc refused indicating that I was at the highest dose. Instead he added Wellbutrin SR which did lift my depression after 2 weeks. Lexapro alone pooped out on me after 7 months, but with the addition of Wellbutrin, my depression has lifted once again.
