Dysuria is a listed side effect i think - i hope it doesn't continue to be a problem. I couldn't handle either selegiline or bupropion when i took them with cymbalta, both worsened the insomnia. Bupropion made for a very rough ride with quite unpleasant stimulation about 5 hours after dosing (presumably when the active metabolites were formed) whilst the selegiline gave me head pressure, although i felt a robustness and positivity i hadn't felt in a while.

I've had the insomnia issue with zyban before when i took w/cipralex - i would be up until 3am. How people get by without a sleep aid i don't know, it seems to be an intrinsic part of the pharmacological effect for me. I'm thinking of reducing the cymb. to 40mg to curb some of the nausea (on monday) then doing a straight switchover to the Ixel in a couple of weeks. But Q are you taking on a daily basis or just dipping in and out to gauge the effects - if not would you be willing to do a diary?
