> Hi,
> I have been on Zoloft for 71/2 years and it has saved my life. My depression and anxiety was extremely severe. I tried Imipramine which helped the depression to a point but not the anxiety attacks. A couple years later after suffering another severe bout of depression my Dr put me on Zoloft which has taken away my depression and anxiety but I've gained about 45 lbs. The cravings have gotten worse over the years so now my Dr wants me to try Wellbutrin because of its weight loss effects on most people. He said I can continue to take 150 mgs of Zoloft because I was so nervous about going off it for fear I'd have another bout of depression. I'll be starting Wellbutrin (150 mgs) tomorrow.

> > Hi -- I just started today taking Wellbutrin. I have been on Zoloft for about 2 years because of depression and it really saved my life. Now I've been diagnosed with ADD (not ADHD) and the Dr. is trying me on Wellbutrin. He says to combine the 2 drugs for now and we can lower or eliminate the Zoloft later. The depression was so difficult that I had do something to get a handle on things but the possible side effects of another drug have me kind of nervous. Although what I've read about it being an appetite suppressant is a pretty good bonus. Does anybody have experience re depression + ADD treated by either Wellbutrin or Zoloft or both that they can share? Thanks, Laney-------------------------------------
Hi.
I have no personal experience with either ADD AD/HD or the combination of Zoloft and Wellbutrin.I'm not sure I would be so quick to want to discontinue Zoloft (sertraline) after adding the Wellbutrin (bupropion, amphebutamone). There really is no need to, unless you are suffering any side effects that persuade you to stop taking it. Zoloft plus Wellbutrin can be a wonderful combination. I've seen many people who have responded only partially to Zoloft, or for whom the SSRI "poop-out" has occurred after responding well initially, gain a full response after adding Wellbutrin. One of the side benefits to adding Wellbutrin is that it can often mitigate the sexual side effects (anorgasmia and decreased libido) associated with SSRI antidepressants like Zoloft. It may even help offset the tendency toward weight-gain. Another consideration is the fact that frequently, after discontinuing a drug that has been working, restarting it does not recapture the antidepressant response once it has been lost. Another SSRI like Paxil can be substituted for Zoloft.
I imagine you already know that Wellbutrin has been shown to be effective to varying degrees for treating ADD AD/HD. From what I've read, it is often effective when the psychostimulants are not. However, caution should be exercised when treating children with Wellbutrin, as it can induce or exacerbate tics. Zoloft and other SSRIs don't seem to be at all effective.

Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol 1996 Fall;6(3):165-75Open-label treatment of comorbid depression and attentional disorders with co-administration of serotonin reuptake inhibitors and psychostimulants in children, adolescents, and adults: a case series.
Findling RL
Department of Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University, School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, USA.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and major depression are common ailments that can cause significant dysfunction throughout the life cycle. These two disorders may occur comorbidly. This case series describes 7 pediatric patients (aged 10-16 years) and 4 adults (aged 38-44 years) whose ADHD and comorbid major depression were treated in a naturalistic open clinical fashion. For all 11 patients, symptoms of major depression appeared to respond well to either fluoxetine or sertraline monotherapy. Using starting doses of fluoxetine 10 mg or sertraline 25 mg daily, we did not observe any adverse behavioral activation or clinical deterioration. However, no improvement in ADHD symptoms was observed in any patient during fluoxetine or sertraline monotherapy. Adjunctive treatment with a psychostimulant seemed necessary for chronic ADHD symptoms to be effectively addressed. The psychostimulants did not appear to provide observable antidepressant effects. With the exception of one adult who had a 20 mm Hg increase in diastolic pressure on methylphenidate monotherapy at 22.5 mg daily, the administration and coadministration of these agents were not associated with significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate. No patient developed suicidality, increased aggressiveness, mania, or other problematic side effects. This combination therapy was well tolerated and appeared to be effective in ameliorating both ADHD and depressive symptoms. These cases support previous suggestions that adjunctive treatment with psychostimulants might be a safe and effective intervention for children treated with fluoxetine or sertraline who have persistent ADHD symptoms and suggests that such combined treatment may be suitable for adults as well.

Then again, 45 pounds sounds like plenty enough reason to consider discontinuing the Zoloft. Maybe you could try to taper off of it later, after you've establish a therapeutic dose of Wellbutrin. I'm sorry that I didn't pay more attention to this "insignificant" side effect in my first post. Certainly, Wellbutrin is a good choice.

Tammi,
i have been on both wellbutrin and zoloft but never at the
same time. my first experience with an antidepressant was
with zoloft. i was on it for four or five weeks
and it didn't have any effect on me. so then i went to
wellbutrin which started to work. i was on it for
about five months until it slowly began to stop
working. so now i am on a new antidepressant-
effexor. but if you are interested in the weight
loss side effects, i most definately experienced
them. they were harmful to me because i have problems
with undereating because of my depression. i have
always been frustrated by how much one's weight can
change because of different antidepressant medications.
anyway, i wish you luck with your experiences with
wellbutrin. i hope it works out for you.~kate

paula,
i have never had an anti depressant begin to work
within the first week (aside from the occasional
placebo affect.) i have talked to other people
about wellbutrin and how it can cause paranoia and
anxiety. i suffered from both when i was on the
drug. but it could just be symptoms of your depression
and not necessarily the medication. it makes sense
to me that you might get a little scared about a
drug if it is causing you to feel so awful.
have you talked to your doctor about your
severity of side effects? i wouldn't worry about
gaining weight if you are on wellbutrin. it often
causes weight loss. i have problems with undereating.
how do you handle your eating problems? they are
so difficult to overcome aren't they? i have never
tried paxil. bye for now.~kate

I've been on Wellbutrin for a year and it has virtually eliminated my depression. I have had GI problems since starting it though and they seem to get progressively worse, leading me to be diagnosed with "irritable bowel syndrome" five months after I started the Wellbutrin. I take fiber supplements daily and this keeps me barely functional. I have lost 10 lbs since starting Wellbutrin; I am not underweight but if I continue to loose weight I will be underweight. Hopefully, my weight will stay as it is.
I would be interested to know if there are any other Wellbutrin longtimers who have the GI problems. I tried going off the Wellbutrin but quickly got depressed.
BTW, I had the tinnitus when I first started but it went away after about 4 months.

I developed IBS syndrome from being overprescribed a medication for parasitic infection. It struck mostly with dairy and chinese foods (??). But Serzone cleared it up for me. AT one time I added WB to Serzone, but it made me aggitated, angry, and distracted. That may have been a synergistic effect between the two.
It didn't trigger the IBS, however. Now that i'm virtually off Serzone, the IBS has returned and the Celexa is not helping it.
My Doctor told me to stay away from cocaine, b.c. it really does a number on your GI track. WB and Coke both work on Dopamine...a link?

I don't know whether this is related, but since my WB SR dose was upped to 400mg in the spring, I have not wanted to eat meat. It has been pretty repulsive. Now I can't eat meat. When I have eaten it, my bowels have paid me back big-time. Not that I really want to eat meat. It still does not appeal.

> I have started on WB after trying Paxil (which I loved - except for the lack of libido) and Zoloft. I am obviously not feeling any changes as of yet, with the minor exception of a slight feeling of dizziness occasionally. What can I expect of WB within time? Have only begun taking WB one week ago.

I have been taking welbutrin for a week and while I have

I have been taking Zoloft for 1 year. I want to get pregnant within the next 7 months or so. I've been told that the Zoloft shouldn't affect the pregnancy but for now I want to consult with my pdoc to see if I can change to Wellbutrin because I understand that this has less sexual side effects than the Zoloft does. Does anyone have info on how Zoloft affected their sex life vs. Wellbutrin and if Wellbutrin is okay to take during pregnancy?

In reply to wellbutrin/luvox/eating disorders, posted by kayd on October 16, 2002, at 21:51:57
I'm not sure what kind of ED you have, but I've tried a lot of the meds you are asking about and have atypical depression with binge eating disorder. I hate that title, but I guess it's the politically correct instead of saying that I basically go through periods of extreme lethargy, uncontrollable crying and bingeing on food, esp. baked goods. The guilt and depression after uncontrollable eating spells, not to mention the weight gain, make me fell worse about myself and the cycle is ongoing.
Anyway, here's what's the scoop from my experience: Some meds helped my appetite, (as in control it), for a period of time. Unfortunately, in all cases, my huge appetite returned. Some meds made my cravings worse from the get-go, and I stopped those within weeks or days.
Wellbutrin, Prozac, Effexor, Luvox and Lexapro, Topomax suppressed my appetite for a period of time.
Zyprexa (the worst for me), Serzone, Zoloft, Parnate and some others I can't remember seemed to increase my cravings and appetite.
Lexapro and Wellbutrin are best for sexual side effects. I've tried Wellbutrin alone and with Prozac, but never with Luvox. That's probably a good combo to try. Wellbrutrin was great for my energy and supressing my appetite for about 10 days. Then it seemed to just stop working.
I had the longest success on Effexor w/Topomax and Luvox (not taken at the same time). However, the both pooped within months and upping the dosages did not help and increased the negative side effects.
Luvox, by Solvay, has been recently pulled from the market, but the generic is available.
I basically no longer care about sexual side effects but sympathize with others that do. I don't want anyone anywhere near my body right now.
Hope this helps.

Hello!
I just came across this thread as I was doing some research and found many of your postings to be helpful. I have a question...
I have been taking Wellbutrin for about six months and it has worked for my depression wonderfully. My feelings of hopelessness are gone and the side effects are actually a pleasure... The increased energy alone helps me get out of bed every morning...
My problem is that aside from depression I also suffer from anxiety. I thought after the pills started working this would subside as well, but it hasn't. I have read that Zoloft can be helpful in treating anxiety and was wondering if anyone is taking it for anxiety while taking Wellbutrin. I'm scared of the side effects from SSRI's and can't decide if it is worth tampering with my current situation.
I've also read (maybe in this thread) that Wellbutrin may offset many of the side effects i.e. weight gain, sexual side effects etc. Does anyone know if this is true??
Thanks so much!!!

I was on both at once for only a short time --wellbutrin 300mg SR and Zoloft 37.5mg [yes 37.5mg] I have been on as much as 150mg of zoloft but not with wellbutrin.I am currently on wellbutrin 300mg now.
My zoloft was increased last year to help with anxiety, but I just thought it made me apathetic, and of course any amount of this drug makes me sleep an extra hour each night. All my zoloft is in a plastic bag until it's no good anymore just in case i go on it again. I am not on it, and I am happy about that.
I have tried SSRIs and swtiched without results too many times to think they are helpful. However, I think they can calm a person down by blunting them. My last trial of Zoloft did not convince me that the blunting even helped though because if you have something real to worry about or a lot of unsettled conflict inside, it will still be there. Zoloft does not work like a benzo obviously.
The wellbutrin/zoloft combo for depression may be a better idea than Effexor because you can tweak how much serotonin action you want. With Effexor which is an SNRI you have to go real high to get norepinephrine effect. One may not need all that serotonin reuptake inhibition.
One of my docs told me that for anxiety buspar is equivalent to increasing an SSRI that is already used for depression.
I personally think exercise, controlling caffeine, quiting smoking, and maybe diet are a good foundation to combat anxiety.
I don't think Zoloft causes weight gain. If you respond to wellbutrin in a prosexual way and have curbed appetite, then you can bet that it will hold up against the typical zoloft symptoms.
To me, Zoloft means night sweats, dizziness, nausea, gastro problems at first, and delayed ejaculation. I don't see how wellbutrin can do much against those.
Wellbutrin also has its hand in irritability and anxiety, so consider that maybe your norepinephrine situation has changed because of the help of wellbutrin, but maybe it is overworking at this point.

I was on the combo after a year of success with WB but then decided that I could go off everything. I was having a lot of oral communication problems and a lot of apathy. Weight gain too. So now I am depressed again, trying Lexapro, nothing happening so I am going back to WB this time XL. Hope that helps.

Hi Sage (and everyone),
So, I started WB three days ago. I feel a bit nauseous and dizzy. I'm titrating up with 37.5mg.
Did you or anyone else experience this that went away over time?
I'm wondering if the Trileptal alone will handle my depression now. I don't like this feeling.
any comments would be appreciated.

Thank you for your responses... What was the reason you both were taking the combination of the two? What it to treat anxiety or only depression?
Everyone I ask that is taking, or has taken, an SSRI seems to be pretty pleased with its effect on depression -- but most feel forced to live with the negative side effects.
Or I hear of many people switching to Wellbutrin and being much happier. So I'm apprehensive about going in the other direction. I definitely wouldn't be able to stand the feeling of tiredness, that would make me more depressed.
The most troubling part of the anxiety is that there is NOT any real thing that I'm anxious about. I'm just all of a sudden nervous in social situations, I have anxiety attacks for no reason like while I'm driving, or sitting in class. Its not really based in reality. I feel like a weirdo all of a sudden that can't talk to people... its really annoying, especially because I'm usually not like this at all. Maybe it is the Wellbutrin..
I just don't know much about what's out there for anxiety... Are there any other anxiety drug with minimal side effects that I might not know about?? What about Paxil, same thing as Zoloft?

I was taking Wellbutrin and Paxil together, Paxil killed my sex life completely. Two doctors suggested trying Zoloft in addition to my Wellbutrin XL 150mg. I just started the Zoloft 25mg yesterday after waiting four weeks after stopping the Paxil. I plan to stay at 25mg for 1 mont and not go to 50mg unless I feel it necessary.
SSRI's in general can cause some sexual dysfunction but Paxil made it impossible, not just lack of ejaculation but 100% loss in sexual desire. Paxil should be approved by the FDA for sex offenders and nymphomaniacs. I tried Zoloft about ten years ago and it never killed my libido then but stopped taking it because I was drinking quite a bit. I don't drink anymore so I'll let you know in a few weeks how things are going.

Do you think Zoloft caused alcohol cravings?
Isn't Wellbutrin suppose to be helpful in quitting smoking? I wonder if it's JUST smoking or will it reduce cravings of all addictions??

I don't smoke and I stopped drinking while I was on an SSRI, Paxil. I've read posts about people stating SSRI's produced alcohol cravings but I think that is more of an excuse to drink than a craving. Zoloft hasn't given me any alcohol cravings at all. There's a study I read somewhere that people with anxiety and social phobia tend to have less desire to drink if the medication is working which makes logical sense. The medications they mentioned in the study were Zoloft and Paxil.

Well, wellbutrin affects nicotinic receptors supposedly, but since it also affects noradrenergic and dopamine recpetors which are what speed {meth and amphets} and cocaine affect, it has been studied for the treatment of stimulant addicts. It is obviously no cure nor does it protect a person from getting high if that person takes an illicit substance like cocaine or meth. It's usually the antidepresssant of choice for addicts with mood disorders. I do not know if it is associated with treating moody alcoholics though.

Hi Kristi!
Well I ended WB on the 15th due to the fact that since taking it I : went home with strange italian man, punched my laptop in - looks like an etch- e- sketch now, have terrible crying jags in the middle of dinner parties, etc. etc. I was only on it for 12 days at 37.5. I had to go off of it. Iwas loopey to say the least. Now I'm just feeling slightly - maybe moreso- depressed. Who knows about the dizziness as I went bonkers on it.

i think that wellbutrin is one of those that can cause high blood pressure, and that may be what is causing you dizziness. Also, if you have just started a new regimine, it could take a while for the initial symptoms to wear off. If you feel that you could have a medical problem, a doctor's visit would not be a bad idea.

>Hi Katia!
Wow! Sounds like WB was definately not your thing. I stopped taking it yesterday. I know it is bad to just quit but like you I am becoming quite a monster. Screaming at my child and dogs over little things and breaking into little crying spells 4-5 times per day. I was going to give it a month, but with all this and the dizziness is getting worse too, I can't take it. I feel like I am going to have a total break down.I think I am going to "dry up" for a couple of weeks and then see a psy. after all the going off side effects are gone.
Hope you are doing better!
