And the more Wellbutrin I got into my system, the more irritable and "hair trigger" I got. I understand that Wellbutrin is not a good recommendation for those with PTSD. That is part of what I am dealing with. Soooo, now I can honestly say that for me, Wellbutrin added to counteract the side effects of Effexor was not good.

What is PTSD?

I take 150 mg in the am and 150 at 5 pm and I tend to wake up at 4am...but get back to sleep.

Does anyone notice an effect on the regularity or Irregularity of their menstral cycle?? (Or is that all stress again?).

This does make me feel less alone! thanks
