combining zoloft with wellbutrin

ve been on the Zoloft for years and the Wellbutrin only going on 3 weeks. The reason I am trying the Wellbutrin because the Zoloft isn't working good anymore. But she hasn't taken me off of the Zoloft. Thanks to both of you for answering me back.

These meds are just weird, they get weirder the older you get, and they affect everyone differently. I have heard that combining an ssri with wellbutrin can help with the weight problem, but then you're on two meds instead of one and wellbutrin can be stimulating and increase anxiety. Might be worth a try for you, who knows?

helped more and has had less side effects than anyother I have been on. I have also tried zoloft, prozax, paxil, and wellbutrin xr. Anyways, I was just wondering what expeirences anyone else has had on abilify? I know it effects everyone different but.....

re taking wellbutrin and Zoloft together and think the wellbutrin is working but not the Zoloft. See my response to your other post for my thoughts about this, but you do need to clear up the confusion as to what you're doing now so people here can help better.

Wellbutrin is known for all that, but I would encourage a much longer taper off the Zoloft if you've been on it awhile -- you don't want to add withdrawal problems to the mix and you also want to know if any problems you have are due to the wellbutrin or to withdrawal from the Zoloft. I'd discuss this with my psychiatrist before quitting this abruptly, again if you've been on it for more than just a little bit of time.

I have only met with him three times. I was sent to a therapist by my medical doctor because of uncontrolable crying. I was put on zoloft about 13 years ago for just about the same thing.I was up to 150mg and my medical doctor felt I needed to work on this from a different angle. I have been working with a therapist since Feb. and after about two months she felt I might need a med change and sent me back to my medical doctor who thought I should try the wellbutrin.

This is entirely dependent on your individual reaction. For me, neither was much of a factor with any of these things, and most ssris other than possibly Prozac tend to be sedating when they work well, but still, some will get these problems and some won't. These two meds are very similar. Celexa came first, and when the patent ran out, they played with the structure, took some things out, and made Lexapro. Reportedly it has fewer side effects, but who knows if that's really true?

well I have to say, after 3 tough weeks of severe nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, headaches, and dry mouth, I had to stop Wellbutrin and will be going back to prozac. If Zoloft helped with your depression, than there is a chance Wellbutrin won't work, because the brain chemistry problem that needs to be addressed is the serotonin problem. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I am going to try to quit smoking. My doctor prescribed Zoloft. Why? I am not depressed. (I am 66 and have smoked since about 14).

My father killed himself when I was 2 so my thinking process from the wellbutrin is scaring me. I still have some Zoloft. Should I stop the wellbutrin and restart Zoloft immediately? This is such a terrible feeling. Anyone ever have this problem with wellbutrin?

Wellbutrin is stimulating, you may want to discuss this with your doctor. It may be the culprit with your insomnia. Take care.

First off I went through the horror of the Paxil withdrawals and I hear that Zoloft is also very hard to get off of. I seem to have issues with anxiety and depression and my doctor seems to think that this will help with both of the issues as Paxil seemed to. Here's the catch though, when I was taking Paxil it totally killed my sex drive and made me very tired.

Hi everyone, Long story short, I tried going off zoloft without success, fell into a deep depression in late Dec, and was put back on zoloft in early January. At the time I was taking Nefazodone and recently weaned off of that. I was on 50 mg Z for 3 weeks and was bumped up to 75 mg one week ago. My anxiety has been bad so I am taking klonopin for that. I'm not doing well emotionally and thought the zoloft would work by now since it's been a full month.

I'm sorry for confusing you. Let me start over, I've been on Zoloft 20yrs and it just isn't working that good at all. I'm only taking 25MG Tab. I tried 50MG and 100 but the higher I went with the Zoloft Medicine, the more Depressed I got. I could only take 25MG the Dr that put me on the Zoloft was an experienced psychiatrist and told me I was suffering from PMDD. I couldn't afford to continue going to see him, so I started getting my Meds (Zoloft) through my Primary Care Dr.

I also take 300mg of Wellbutrin each day and have for 2 years. Do you think I should lower my Wellbutrin dose or my Zoloft dose or both? I was switched from a Wellbutrin/Lexapro combo to the Wellbutrin/Zoloft combo due to the fact that I had been on Lexapro for over 3 years and it stopped working. I have OCD, GAD, and depression. I take the Wellbutrin to help with the side effects of weight gain and loss of libido. Thanks for your help.

I do think if you keep going with Wellbutrin and Cymbalta you will be doing just fine. Wellbutrin might be unpleasant when taking the first doses, just like any other antidepressant but the side-effects will eventually go away as your body adapts to the medicines. If after 1 month taking both drugs you don't see any improvements then you might consider trying something else but seriously Cymbalta+Wellbutrin is really supposed to give you energy and make you function more normally.

So I was started taking the 150mg Wellbutrin along with 50mg of Zoloft for about a month and then the next month 150mg Wellbutrin along with 25mg of Zoloft. Now that I am only taking Wellbutrin - it's been about 2 weeks - I feel that the panics attacks are back and I'm a bit lightheaded daily. I want to feel better so I think this is still a "withdrawl" from the Zoloft, but if it doesn't get better in a month I will head back to the Dr. I think Dr.

I am not good at taking more than one pill per day and I know with Wellbutrin, and Wellbutrin SR, more than one is required. I would wanted a timed release anyway, with one pill only. My dr, said she looked it up in her book, and Wellbutrin XL 150mg, is only prescribed for SAD and to quit smoking. She did not want to prescribe the XL at all no mater what I said. She prescribed me Regular Wellbutrin 100mg twice per day.

Can Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Trazodone be taken all together? I am trying to wean off of wellbutrin and start trazodone for depression and stay on zoloft for anxiety. If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Zoloft makes me extremely sleepy and also I have gained weight while taking it so my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin SR 150mg to take with the Zoloft. I started the Wellbutrin yesterday and was fine throughout the day until evening came. I felt all of a sudden that I was back to being 'in my head' again and all of the problems I had before taking Zoloft came back full force.

I have been taking Zoloft for two months and my sex drive is pretty much gone. Is there anything I can do to increase it? Should I try another medicine? My friends suggested Wellbutrin. I don't know though. Any suggestions?

Could I have my doc wean me from the Zoloft to see how I tolerate it? Or should I try the weaning over to Wellbutrin to see if it is any better? I hate the sexual side effects, and I really need more energy. The Topamax fog is bad enough at times, I really don't like adding the Zoloft fog to it. Any advice is appreciated.

They are all common side effects, they may go away, they may not. Many of these are not associated with wellbutrin, but if the problem is anxiety wellbutrin is very stimulating and isn't recommended for anxiety. So given we don't know what's going on here, we should be cautious about telling somebody what drug to take, though I think it's open season on questioning the overprescribing of drugs in general.

I internalize to the point where it manifests in my neck muscles with spasms. I have used Wellbutrin in the past with success, but am looking for an anxiety med combo. It appears that Klonopin might be a good combo. If I do request this from my physician today, is it better to ask specifically for non-generic? I have read other people speaking about the problems of different fillers/combos with generic.
