Avatar n tn I have been on almost every depression pill known to man over the past 10 years and I can say the only prescriptions that did not cause me weight gain are the ones i'm currently on, which are citalopram and wellbutrin sr.
2035835 tn?1336300786 Will I gain weight or loss weight by takeing 300mg of Wellbutrin XL a day? I started loseing weight on the wellbutrin SR but he switched me to the XL because he said the SR doesn't go any higher then 200mg... What should I do???
Avatar n tn My husband was taking Wellbutrin sr 150 the doctor upped him to 200 sr and they gave him buprion 200 sr(on the bottle it says just Bupr). He had lots of energy on the Wellbutrin sr150 and was a pleasure to be arounds, but on this 200 buprionsr he goes to sleep and is like snappen at me all the time. After reading some of these questions I am worried that things are going to go back to the way they were before he started taking his meds.
Avatar f tn My Dr switched me over to generice Wellbutrin last week after having tried the SR version. I quit the SR version in early January, see my post in the archives section, due to a bad itching sensation. I quit the generic Wellbutrin on Sunday.
Avatar m tn No zoloft will not help with withdrawal from effexor is zoloft in the same group of anti-depressants ? Effexor is fat soluable and stays in your system for a long time in clings to fat and muscle, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, only being honest.
722467 tn?1231360966 I feel well on Effexor SR combined with klonopin.
Avatar n tn m on 300 mg of welbutrin xl in the evening before bed, 150 mg of welbutrin sr in the morning, 150 mg effexor xr in both morning and before bed, and 40 mg of geodon in the evening. i'm hoping to switch the welbutrin and effexor to something else, either a single medication or two different medications, i've also been put on zoloft, lexapro, and prozac where the medications i'm not on currently either didn't work as they should have, or they had more negative side-effects than not.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed Effexor XR 75 mg and took it for 4 days. I experienced moderate nausea until day 2 when a migrane headache started. It's so painful that I can hardly see straight, and I only get relief while lying down. I'm on day three with the migrane and it's been 36 hours since I last took the Effexor. When can I expect the headache to go away? I've missed two days of work for it already.
Avatar n tn I have been on Effexor XR for about 8 months now. I started with effexor xr 37.5 mg, then one week later up to 75 mg, then 150mg. About a month ago, when it seemed to have stopped working, my doctor increased it to 225 mg, but it totally messed me up. I went back on the 150 mg and after a few weeks decided that this medication was just not working for me.
Avatar n tn It works on another nueral transmitter, dopamine. The differance between SR and XL is one of release time. 300 mgs of SR requires a 150 mg tablet twice a day. XL is one 300 mg tablet once a day. Antidepressants often become ineffective over time. Wellbutrin worked well for me for about 3 years and then it didn't. Adding Remeron helped but everyone is different. Now I'm back to Zoloft which worked very well but left me with no libido.
Avatar n tn I have been taking 300 milligrams of Effexor XR and 300 milligrams of Wellbutrin SR and 2000 milligrams of Depacote for the past six years.I have managed on my own to stop taking all of them over the past six weeks,not without great suffering.I would like to know if and when I can expect to be free from the nausea,dizziness,headaches,etc. that I am experiencing all the time.
Avatar n tn why has your dr. prescribed effexor if your doing well on the kolonopin? yes! effexor gave me severe heart palpitations. they were so bad one night i had my husband take me to the hospital, i was also having severe jaw pain. they checked me out and said i was fine and sent me home. they recomended that i get a stress test which i did and it came back fine. my regular m.d, the hospital and the heart dr.
Avatar f tn Wellbutrin (buproprion) is a relatively weak antidepressant and has a low rate of withdrawal syndrome compared to the SSRIs and SNRIs such as Paxil, Effexor, or Cymbalta.
399151 tn?1201289425 I just got put on Wellbutrin sr 150mg..Today is my second week.Will my anxiety levels go down? Someone told me that at first it makes your anxiety level high, then gradually will go down...
Avatar f tn Not interested as it just delays the inevitable, BUT, I need help. Other than a 37.5 mg. dose of effexor sr to reduce symptoms, 25g. atenalol for the racing heart and a 20 mg. lovostatin I take nothing. I have one cup of coffee in the am and it doesn't make a difference in the symptoms. Any advice?
Avatar m tn I've been off work for 3 months now and have just maxed out on Wellbutrin SR to help with major depression. It's not helping so now I need to try another AD. I took Prozac a few years ago and had good success for a few years, so I think my next step to try the Prozac again. I tried Effexor for about 8 months but it never really helped. I experienced extreme withdrawal from it while switching to wellbutrin.
Avatar f tn I've been on Effexor XR (300 mg) for about fifteen years and recently decided with my psychiatrist that I would go off it and start Wellbutrin XL. I got on the Wellbutrin (150 mg) and started tapering off the Effexor, and I was surprised at how smoothly it was going. Then I went from 75 mg of the Effexor to nothing, and within two days I felt like I was going to die. I felt nauseous, drunk and hung over at the same time, shaky, dizzy, etc.
1690500 tn?1305906946 The withdrawal effects from Paxil and Effexor XR in particular are the worst. Withdrawing from Effexor XR using a low dose of Prozac helped a bit. You may want to tuck this piece of information away if you ever need it down the road. Before supplementing your regimen with 5-HTP, please discuss it first with your doctor. Although I believe you are correct regarding its association with serotonin, it's best to get the "ok" from your doctor.
Avatar f tn In the last 10 years I have been prescribed several different drugs, i.e Paxil, Zoloft, Xanax and Effexor. The first three caused me to feel so "out of it" that I guess you could say they worked because I wasn't having OCD issues or anxiety. I had no feelings of anything. I also went from a healthy weight of 130 pounds to 215 pounds in just under 18 months.
1796524 tn?1315586487 Watch out for "CR", "XR" and "SR" versions of meds. As far as I know, only Wellbutrin "CR" and Effexor "XR" are superior than the originals. I was taking 6mg's of Klonopin/day for many years before swiching to Xanax, also 6mg's/day. I suffer severe anxiety, and although the K-pins were O.K., they took too long to work and didn't stop panic attacks.
Avatar m tn I'm on 90mg Erfa and just introduced SR T3. I cannot get consistent temps no matter when and how many I use? For example I used 3 7.5mcg T3 and temp rose to 97.33 it then went down to 96 around noon after I took 2 MORE! This morning I took 4 SR T3 with 90 mcg thinking I need to take more in the morning but instead it was lower than the morning before when I took less and which was 97.33F. Ive been searching the internet as to some kind of protocol to follow but dont find much information.
370801 tn?1264405018 I have been diagnosed as having major depression. I went on Wellbutrin SR 200 mg per day last December and it initially did help me. I was so depressed before going on it that it was a welcome relief and it also help me quit smoking.. 7 months later I have started to have some unwanted side effects that I just don't think are working for me. I feel dizzy a lot and out of it some days..
