Common Questions and Answers about Prozac wellbutrin
prozac
Well,
Wellbutrin is often a combination drug used with an SSRI like Prozac. Wellbutrin will work twice as must at inhibiting your dopamine reuptake than the neurepinephrine (noradrenaline) reuptake which will most likely cause withdrawal symptoms especially with the well-being feeling of the dopamine and the energy from the norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. Anyway, yeah I suggest tapering off slowly if you want to quit Wellbutrin but it can also work great as a combo with Prozac.
Like you i am on Wellbutrin 150 mg amd 20mg of Prozac i do well on both have been for 2 yrs now. The prozac makes me tired i tried no prozac and 1 wellbutrin in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I had more energy but i was snapping at everyone and being hateful so went back on the prozac my Dr. said the prozac dosnt make you tired but my body says the different.
What I meant was, you've been on both Prozac and wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is often combined with an ssri to combat sexual and weight gain side effects. But as you taper down on the Prozac, you're mostly on the wellbutrin, and it's possible without the counterbalance of the ssri you're feeling the full effects of the stimulating qualities of the wellbutrin, which isn't generally used for anxiety problems for this reason.
I was taking 60 mg of Prozac and went down to 40 mg for a couple weeks then started Wellbutrin 150xl and was able to get off the Prozac. They had me take 20 mg for 3 days along with the Wellbutrin then quit the Prozac.
m on 10mg of Prozac and have noticed some weight gain within the past 2 months or so and my doctor has suggested I start taking Wellbutrin along with the Prozac but my biggest concern is having panic attacks. I suffer from panic disorder w/ agoraphobia and the Prozac has been helping but I'm afraid that adding on the Wellbutrin may counteract that. (I know it is considered a stimulant for a lot of people - hence the usual weight loss.
ve read that wellbutrin takes about 4 weeks to fully kick in, and that it may counteract the sexual dysfunction caused by a straight SSRI such as prozac. It is worth noting that wellbutrin is a reuptake inhibitor for dopamine and noradrenaline (also called norepinephrine), but not for serotonin. Prozac is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
i just want to discontinue the wellbutrin and go back to taking my prozac, but the last dr i saw said that i had to wean off the wellbutrin comletely before i can even start my prozac..so that means it will be atleast ten days before i can START to get back to normal. i wanted to know can i go ahead and start my prozac while weaning off the wellbutrin and are there gonna be side effects if i were to just stop taking the wellbutrtin without weaning?
im doing ok feel abit anxious but im on xanax also and wellbutrin..im wondering if the wellbutrin alone will help the depression..has anyone had sucess with that.i was also recently put on the estradiol hormone patch...i want a sex life and happiness..

After being on prozac since march and it killing my sex drive,my dr told me to stop it and start wellbutrin sr tommorow..plus the prozac didnt help my depresssion much...he told me it would say on the papers that come with it that it can cause seizures..but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..
I have been taking prozac and wellbutrin. Some Drs. say its ok and some dont. I have been going on my second week with no wellbutrin and am staying nausea all the time. I felt like the Wellbutrin was causing me to gain weight.
I have found that Wellbutrin counteracts that side effect. Also, I discovered that staying on the Wellbutrin, until my system adjusted to it made the side effect go away.
I have switched from prozac to wellbutrin xl due to sexual side affects. Prozac worked great for everything else for the past 11 years. I have been on Wellbutrin for 3 days and have severe insomnia, constipation and dizziness. Will these side effects last long? Will they go away eventually?
MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON WELLBUTRIN, I HAVE BEEN TAKING 20 MG PROZAC FOR A YEAR.. SHE TOLD ME TO JUST QUIT TAKING THE PROZAC ALL TOGETHER..
I have been taking Prozac for many years, recently my Dr added wellbutrin xl. It worked very well except it gave me horrible hot flashes. Is there a good alternative that doesn't have the side effects?
m a 16 year old boy and i was prescribed topamax 25mg for migraines over a year ago. A few months ago i was also prescribed wellbutrin 300mg and prozac 10mg for depression and anxiety. When I first started taking the topamax i hardly sweated. I did start sweating a fair amount before taking the wellbutrin and prozac but the sweating has just increased since then and i've been getting large stains on my armpits just from sitting in class.
i was on wellbutrin and prozac for 2 months and cut them cold turkey to take another antidepressant zoloft. it's been 4 days and still no symtomps.
got the bad dierehha and the odd walking again..prozac has zapped my sex drive me and hubby havebt had sex bit once since the prozac so dr mentioned he might add wellbutrin later...he also switched me from adderall to ritalin and im on xanx for anxiety.both of these drs told me 2 light beers is ok ..i was reading up on wellbutrin and it says it can cause seizures and alchol could add to the seizure effect...i ask my pharmist and he said thats very rare..
Hi there, I read through your comments and am experiencing the same. I was taking Prozac and it worked really well on my OCD and anxiety. I gained 30 lbs from taking Prozac, and I noticed I was always so tired. My Dr switched me to Wellbutrin. I'm on 100 mg and I take two a day, plus one Prozac. I'm on my 3rd week now. I felt pretty good on the 3rd and 4th day. I noticed I'm able to wake up early in the morning and that I had more energy. I even lost 5 lbs so far.
I wasn't on anything before and I got put on wellbutrin, prozac and klonipin. I took prozac for a long time before. The only thing I never took before was the wellbutrin. I am still having these twitches all over my body. I am also extremely aggitated. I have been talking to my physician, but he doesn't know. I don't see my psychiatrist for a few more weeks. This is really scaring me. I hope it is the wellbutrin.
You seems to be a very anxious person and you are using a lot of stimulants. Wellbutrin is stimulating, Adderall is stimulating and Prozac is thought to be a rather stimulating SSRI compared to the other SSRIs. That being said I think your anxiety must be to the roof and I would gradually reduce the Prozac like you are doing and maybe halting the tapering the week before and during your vacations to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms but you may still get withdrawal symptoms.
seems since being on it my sex drive is gone...im on hormones,estratest and femring..going off prozac on wellbutrin sr and xanax..
Its not the Wellbutrin, it's probably the Prozac.
Flouxetine, is that the drug your doc recommended? That is Prozac. I have taken Wellbutrin without success but I took prozac for 5-6 yrs and had great result until my body began to metabolize so quickly it became ineffective...everyone is different and you may respond to one better than the other. I beleive both of these drugs are on the $4.00 generic list from Walmart...alot cheaper than Effexor XR.
You may not need anything but the Wellbutrin to be honest with you. I have OCD which leads to anxiety and then to depression. I was on Prozac many years ago and I tried those other drugs over the past year when it reared its ugly head again but I choose Wellbutrin. I was initially on 150 XL like you but I needed a boost when my OCD kicked into overdrive so I went to 300 XL. It did make me more jittery at first but after about 4-6 weeks, it went away and I feel GREAT!
I am a 39 year old female and have been taking a very low dose (8-10 mg/day) of Prozac for 3 years. I am not able to take more than this as it causes me to feel jittery. I have little to no libido. My doctor has me switched over to Wellbutrin due to the low libido side effects. I am on my second week of a very low dose of Wellbutrin (35 mg am, 17 mg afternoon). I have noticed that for several hours after I take it, my lips and face tingle as if they are slightly numb.
My boyfriend's doctor has just recently prescribed Prozac, Wellbutrin XL and Effexor for his depression. My question is, is it safe to take all of these prescriptions at the same time?
My boyfriend is also having a hard tiome sleeping at night, he twitches and has a hollow feeling in his legs and arm that doesn't seem to be going away, what can he do?
