cipralex and wellbutrin

When I stopped, I was fine for six months but my depression suddenly started again. I restarted taking cipralex 10 mg one each night and I improved quickly. Now it is four years that I am taking it. I now want to stop it because I am having very decreased sixual drive. So my question is that, Will my sexual drive improve when I stop taking cipralex?

So I talked to my doctor and he said that I can't take Wellbutrin because I have a history with non-epileptic seizures. Think I'm going to try to stick it out with just Lex for a while and HOPE that the tiredness eventually goes away after a few months at a lower dose like it did for you. I'm at 7.5 right now but it hasn't fully kicked in again (only been 2.5 weeks) so I think I'll wait a bit before going down to 5mg.

I had anxiety and I was on Cipralex 20mg & Zyprexa 5mg I was doing fine. I got a viral infection for which I used leflox 500mg antibiotic 2 times a day. The viral infection got cured but I got anxiety. My doctor has gave me a plan to temper zyprexa as it was giving me brain fog and has added wellburtin SR 150mg. I am asking him to give me some benzodiazepines he does not gives as he says that Cipralex & Wellburtin are enough. He says that give wellburtin 3 weeks to work.

I just started wellbutrin for my depression and it made my anxiety sky rocket. Cant sleep and shaky hands. Im in a training program for a job and I was doing well, I have completed 4 weeks, i think clonazapem was keeping me going. I started wellbutrin and all of a sudden i got thoughts about being a failure, I will fail the training, I will get fired, I will be homeless. Then I started feeling suicidal.

Is it safe to use Cipralex (10mg tabs), or Wellbutrin XL (150mg tabs) while on the Methadone program? Been on Methadone for approx.

I was on cipralex and Wellbutrin for 1 and a half years and then my doc switched me to Effexor for a year which caused more side effects than anything so iv been back on cipralex for about a week, I guess we will see how that goes.

I am on 10 mg. Cipralex, 150 mg. Wellbutrin XL, and 50 mg. Trazadone. Until recently, they have worked quite well, but for the past 3 weeks it's been downhill and I just feel more negative and isolated. Reasons are: my close cousin committed suicide, my boyfriend has been away for almost a month and won't return for another week, I am recently unemployed and trying to find a well paying job.

Wellbutrin was not a good drug for me. It caused rapid cycling and was part of the reason I was so screwed up about 2 years ago. I did much better on cipralex. I think it is a crap shoot. I would let the pdoc do the picking of drugs.

The wellbutrin and xanax helps me be able to function,but that is all. I think the wellbutrin is making it worse,but i have found nothing else.Yes there are days I wish I did not even have to get out of bed, then there are others I really feel great. WHO KNOWS!!! I will keep in touch Thanks.

I am taking anti depressants Zyprexa 5mg, Cipralex 20mg & Wellbutrin SR 150mg. When I am busy I am fine as soon as I think of anxiety my anxiety level starts to increase and becomes realy disturbing and uncomfortable. What can I do to control my fear of anxiety?

I sometimes think doctors don't tell you the real percentage of weight gain with a drug. I was on cipralex for years and it didn't matter how much I worked out, weight loss was minimal. On a high carb diet and no excercise, I gained 40 or so lbs. Everytime I go off of cipralex I lose weight. I don't care what they say, cipralex causes weight gain. I was on mirtzapanine for a short while and I felt happy for once but together with the cipralex the 30 lbs came back within a month!

I'm on Cipralex 15mg for anxiety and depression and Seroquel 20mg at night for insomnia. I've been on remeron/mirtazapine before and had no sexual disfunction issues, however I haven't had the interest in sex/intimacy or ability to orgasm since a month prior to getting on the meds. I just started taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg because I'm told it should help with the sexual disfunction. How long until I notice a difference? Do you think I'm on too many medications?

i've read many controversies and opposite views abt wellbutrin, does it drive you manic, once, all the time or NEVER ? I know some went manic on wellbutrin. Have you read something specific abt it.

Was on cipralex for 2 months and gained 10-15lbs I was devastated, I went off the meds and lost 5 lbs but the depression and anxiety is just too much and its so unfortunate bc that drug helped me so much. Just started wellbutrin today 300mg hope this helps loose the extra weight I gained and with the depression.

I'm sorry Jack to hear about your son. I can very much relate to him. The fears can be about rational things but the irrational part is the way we deal and obsessive about them. Has he been diagnosed with OCD or generalized anxiety? What your son has tried are SSRIs or serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Cipralex is another one of the SSRIs. It is thought that the serotonin in our brains is taken up leaving a deficit that our brain cells need to communicate and regulate mood, etc.

Lexapro was probably the shittiest drug I've ever taken besides Cymbalta. I gained 8 pounds in 2 weeks and I knew it was the Lexapro because my eating habits haven't changed. I talked to my doctor I got switched to Wellbutrin. It's not and SSRI but it is an appetite suppressant and seemed to have helped me more than the SSRIs I've taken.

I was on celexa 2 years ago. I have a really bad record with any type of antidepressant, and like all the rest I ended up in the hospital as a result of it. Everyone is different, but that was my reaction to it.

Yep, it can still happen with Wellbutrin. It did for me and I was almost hospitalized.

I used to, like youe average person. And now, nothing. This started with the OCD and not wanting to be touched, and now I believe is a side affect from my meds. Any one else having issues? What can you do to fix this?

The newer antidepressant (which is pretty much all that is getting prescribed nowadays) have pretty much the same side-effect but each person is different so if you are getting a lot of side effects (past the two week point - they all suck the first two weeks) on one you may be able to switch to another and it works great. There are just too many variable in the human body. For example I can't handle Wellbutrin but can handle Cipralex or Celexa.

I did okay on Paxil as far as mania but when the doctor tried to combine Effexor and celexa I had a episode and once dosage was decreased and over a few weeks I was able to handle it, Thank God! I did take Wellbutrin and was so angry, mean and aggressive...bad stuff for me..

I am BP1, but have hit clinical depression. I think they put me on a AD because of this and I'm pregnant and they don't want to put me on too high of a dose of Lamictal. Lamictal, I've been on it on and off for a couple yrs. It never really helped much with depression for me. So maybe all I needed all along was a AD. I've taken as high of a dose as 400mg of lamictal when not pregnant. It helps with the mania for short periods of time, but then I always have to up my dose.

I was on Cipralex for a year since losing dad and losing my job. had bad anxiety and insomnia.

I take both those meds and avoid all cold medicines and over the counter medications because they can interact with the cipralex and serequel. I always call my pharmacist and ask which medications could counteract with my anti depressants.

anxiety is a common denominator for all psych disorders. it's not specific to BP alone. Taking cipralex will do you good for a while but then it will drive you manic eventually. you said cipralex, is it the only drug you take or along with other meds ? because if you take mood stabilizers along with then perhaps it's safe. but i never heard someone with BP is prescribed an antidepressant only. cipralex is rather strong it's an SSRI.

He told me to consult with the psychristic. I consulted with the psychristic. He advised me to take cipralex for one and half month. After taking the cipralex too i feels the same sympton. For that i once again consulted with the other neurophysician in bangalore. He advised me for doing the MRI Scan. The result of the MRI saying "Mild ectopia of cerebellar tonsils. The tips of the tonsil is 5mm below the formen magnum. No mass effect is seen on the Brain stem.

My went to visit my doctor about my anxiety and sleeping issues and he has put me on Cipralex 10mg dosage a day and also prescribed me 50mg of trazodone to be taken at bedtime to help me sleep. Does anyone take these prescriptions? if so could I please get some feedback on them?

So do you think panic and fear can be an extra side effect of cipralex and i should increase the above doze of xanax.
