• Lexapro and Wellbutrin XL At the same time?
|
I am on Lexapro and it is making me horribly tired. I have been reading about people that take Wellbutrin XL as well to offset that as it gives them energy. Is there any truth to that and if so isn't it dangerous to take 2 SSR's?
Ha! AJ, you are everywhere man! On day 3 of the Lexapro. I'll talk with you offline.

• Questions about Wellbutrin XL 150 & Lexapro... pls help me?
|
my doc put me on both of these meds 2 weeks ago. He told me to call him in 2 weeks (now) if they weren't working. I have read (and I actually used to be a pharmacy tech.) that these types of meds take 4 weeks to get in your system. I guess my question is, I'm not feeling any better, the depression is still here. Should I give it another 2 weeks to get in my system or call him now? Thanks.

• I was wondering what will happen if you took 3 Lexapro pills, 2 Wellbutrin-XL pills,and 4 Lamictal pills?
|
Lexapro pills each contains 20MG. Wellbutrin pills each contains 300MG. Lamictal pills each contains 25MG. I would love to receive an answer from a doctor who knows about these things because,I'm having alot of difficulties in life,due to the fact that I had to dropout of high school during senior year because everything got harder,and I wasn't able to finish it nor understand it which ravaged my grades from barley passing to just failing.

• Whats the differance between Lexapro and Wellbutrin XL?
|
My doctor had me taking Lexapro for a long time and about 6 months ago he wanted to add Wellbutrin XL. So I didnt feel nothing changed after starting it, so I quit taking the Wellbutrin but as I have been reading that I think I want to try switching from taking the Lexapro to the Wellbutrin for my depression. I already take Ativan for my anxiety. I also read that Wellbutrin dont make a person gain weight which I have gained in the past years and It may be from taking Lexapro so Im gona take a test and switch taking these today and see how I do..Also It might help me with trying to quit smoking!!!

• Did anyone have these same side effects when starting Wellbutrin XL 150mg?
|
I'm on day 3 of 150mg of Wellbutrin XL for depression after being unsuccessfully treated with Lexapro. I've been nauseated ever since I started taking it (I take it in the morning) and last night, I did not sleep AT ALL. I'm sure these side effects will decrease some or go away completely once my body adjusts (hopefully, anyway) but has anyone else had these same side effects when first starting the medication? If so, did you ask your doctor for any other medication to counteract the side effects while your body adjusted? Or is there anything else that I can do to feel better and sleep while I'm adjusting? Thanks so much!
Thanks for all the input! I had my doctor call in a new Rx for Wellbutrin 75mg. The nausea/vomiting stopped once I got on the lower dosage. I will finish out a full week on that the start taking it twice a day to get back up to the 150mg. I think it was just too strong of a dose too soon. I'm still have some trouble sleeping, so she prescribed Xanax to help until my body fully adjusts.

• why don't i want to do anything physical with my boyfriend anymore?
|
i have been dating my boyfriend for about a year now, and we haven't had sex yet but we've been talking about it lately. we usually do stuff whenever we hang out, but i'm always giving handjobs or like.. pleasuring him. he's not really good with making me feel good. i'm teaching him. slowly. but i don't think it's that. i think that it has something to do with my hormone level. i get migraines a LOT because of my hormone level. it's really messed up. is there any medicine or anything that can help with this? anything? or is it any of the medicine i'm on? answering any of those questions will really mean a lot to me. thank you.
medicine i'm on:
wellbutrin xl
lexapro
neurontin
risperidone
pantoprazole

• Wellbutrin/Lexapro combo?
|
I'm on Wellbutrin XL 300mg, and have been for over a year. I need a boost, so the doctor gave me Lexapro 10mg. I'm wary to take the medication because of the side effects--including weight gain (major cause of depression for me) and loss of energy. Wellbutrin makes me drowsy enough--anything more and I will be falling asleep in public. I do not have anxiety, just depression.
Anyone have experience with this combination? Side effects? Is upping the dosage of Wellbutrin better?
Thanks.
To clarify: what I mean by "needing a boost" is my depression is seasonal, and it worsens between March and May.

• Should I stop taking my Lexapro and Wellbutrin?
|
I'm 15 and have battled depression for about 2 years now. In November, I was prescribed Prozac, 10mg for the first week, then 20mg. Two weeks later I went up to 40mg. After no relief I saw a NP in psychiatry and she prescribed Effexor (75mg). After a month I couldn't handle the nausea from it so I was weaned off of it and went to Zoloft 50mg. Well that made me do nothing but sleep 24/7. So I saw a real psychiatrist. On May 10th I was prescribed 10mg of Lexapro for 2 weeks, than 20mg, along with 45mg/day BuSpar because I have bad anxiety issues. Well the Lexapro didn't seem to have an affect at my last visit which was August 9th. He wanted me to go ABOVE the maximum dose to 30mg, which I have not done and will not do, along with 150mg of Wellbutrin-XL. I still take BuSpar. I have became worse within the last week or so and I began getting worse before the Wellbutrin. I am thinking the Wellbutrin and Lexapro are making me worse. I've always self-injured but my mom saw cuts on my left arm. I saw how hurt she was and I knew then I am not doing anything for myself or my family. I can't watch my mom be hurt from my foolish actions.
I am wanting to wean off of Lexapro and Wellbutrin, keep the BuSpar because I do have bad anxiety, and replace it with more natural approaches like 5-HTP, and tyrosine. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, and tyrosine is the precursor to norepinephrine and dopamine. I have done the exercising deal, which I still do, and it makes me more depressed and I dread exercising every day I do it. I hate it with a strong passion. So, should I replace it with the more natural supplements? I actually have learned long-term use of SSRIs can cause you to be serotonin deficient. Also, my mom has mentioned inpatient treatment? Would that be good? I've considered it but I don't want to be fed drugs constantly, or is it different than that? I need coping skill classes badly. I hate school, I'm getting homeschooled because school is what drove me to cut, and have suicidal thoughts and I have no friends. I couldn't go much longer.
