Does anyone know about taking the Effexor and Wellbutrin together, is it a good match? I saw my doc yesterday and she didn't want to take me off of the WellbutrinXL 300. She had me reduce to 150 and didn't want to try anything else for the symptoms or withdrawal of Effexor I was having. She thought maybe the 300 was too strong. At this point I'm not sure that what I'm feeling is the Effexor withdrawal or the the Wellbutrin side effects. I missed work like 3 day the week before, 1 day last week and now yesterday afternoon and today all day. I can't keep missing but I can't even function at this point. I am shaky, weak, and so anxious all I like to do is stay home and lay around, not deal with anything or anyone.
I guess instead of weaning of the Effexor XR anymore right now, I will stay at 75 for awhile(since it worked okay while I was on the 150 but the sexual side effects and sluggish feeling was not good)and the WellbutrinXL at 150.
My doc had no idea I was as bad as I was. She was out sick for a week or so and her nurse didn't have a clue. She was supposed to consult another doc there for advice but didn't. My doc apologized and felt bad.
I just hope I can stable off now and be 'normal' again and work and take care of responsibilities around here.Thanks,
Mariqua
