Common Questions and Answers about Wellbutrin and celexa together
celexa
I've been on 150mg of Effexor XR and 300mg of Wellbutrin for maybe 9 months now. I suddenly started feeling sick after taking the two together. 2-3 hours after taking the two I get the "zapping" feeling some people describe, my heart rate increases (as high as 120), sometimes I feel nauseous, I have trouble focusing, and I generally feel sick. This has been getting worse over the last 2 months. I went to the ER the other day because I felt so bad and my heart rate was scaring me.
Absolutely loved it but had sexual side effects and weight gain. Next Wellbutrin, did nothing for me. Next Effexor AND Wellbutrin. Slept 3 days straight on Effexor so had to go off of it. Now Celexa and Wellbutrin. Only day 4 but this one is giving me insomnia. Too soon to know if that will wear off and if it's working.
My question is, my Dr knows I am concerned about not gaining more weight.

She has some aniexty and depression ?Her hands shake after wellbutrin,but doctor said to try and see if it subsides after body gets use to it.Please let me know if this combination is used alot?
At the time, I was taking wellbutrin and celexa. I began taking notes on the events, and found that when I became agitated, irritated by people, that is experiencing negative emotions, THAT was when these episodes begin. Once, when my celexa ran out and it was a week before I could refill it, I noticed the intensity of these episodes was greatly reduced.
Hi. I started wellbutrin xl 150 mg a few months ago after having tachycardia chest tightness and panic. Upped it to 300 mg after a few weeks. I also have clorazepate (tranxene) 7.5 mg for when needed. Then after having tachycardia still I started metoprolol 25 mg (which I cut in half) to help with daily anxiety and lower my heart rate. It has definitely lowered my heart rate but I still don't feel right. Still have an uneasy feeling and tightness in my chest.
Do your own research, but apparently you can take both together. I have taken Wellbutrin and my husband does for bipolar (him) and we did not gain wt. on it. It just did not work for me, so I switched to Lexapro. It helped me in less than a week. I have been on it for several years and actually lost wt. while on it. I was actively trying to lose wt. and had no problems doing it while taking the Lexapro.
I told my psychatrist about this and she told me that she does not know why it seems to work for a while then not be so effective, before taking celexa I was taking wellbutrin Sr 300 mgs, before that I was on lexapro 20 mgs one time a day, I had the same results with this drug as well, I was diagnosed with a mild form of depression. I am thinking maybe the adderall is to strong?
After taking Wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily and my Zoloft 100mg together fro the first time I woke disoriented and dizzy
Just was wondering if I should of started the wellbutrin one a day to get used to it.
in my opinion only!! always check with your doctor first....but as far as I know when ur on a medication 'in the same family' as the new one your doctor is changing u2....than u do not have to taper off...just stop and start!
Its only when ur changing to a different family of meds ie: SSRI's ,SNRO's MOA's and so on that u need to taper...
I would get a second opinion. The Wellbutrin does not equally replace the Prozac, so while you likely won't have any SERIOUS problems like seizures, you may feel miserable. If you doctor isn't a psychiatrist, seek one out.
I take Armour thyroid, Celexa(changed from wellbutrin) enalapril,estradiol and promethium. I'm 52, a newlywed and have a lot of difficulty attaining an orgasm. I never had this before. Libido, and stimulation are great, but no climax. What can I do differently to resolve this problem?
t been on anything for two weeks, I feel the anxiety creeping back and have headaches and nausea. He gave me a Prescription for Wellbutrin, will this help with the weight loss? Will I be able to the weight or does it permanently change your metabolism?Now that I am over weight it is not helping with my self image. I do feel I need some medication to help with my anxiety is this a good choice? Are the side effects minimal?
my dr wants me to try wellbutrin in the monring n celexa at night...i was on celexa and gained 18 lbs..i am sensitive with my weight i do not wanna gain weight...has anyone been on these combos
?
Always speak to your doctor regarding medications, as they know the medication best and your health history. From what I understand Wellbutrin is used when sleepiness occurs in the daytime, which would make sense to take the Celexa at night. I only take Celexa, and only in the morning. So, apparently it is an individul thing, depending on your specific needs. A quick call to your doc is best. Take care...
s crawling all over, I felt like I was burning up. I used to take Wellbutrin for my anxiety and it did great. I felt way more confident and at ease while on it.
I was told to take Xanax if I felt I needed to. .25mg and I was out for 1 1/2 hours. I couldn't stay awake. I'll try half next time.
I hate trying so many meds. Doc said I could start Wellbutrin tomorrow. Do you think it should be safe?
Doc prescribed this to me for anxiety and to cope with problems a little better. i have taken wellbutrin before and it made me feel majorly depressed in the mornings and then i would be ok as the day went on. Im not really depressed right now. what more common side effects can i excpect from this celexa? I love my sleep and i cant stand waking up depressed. so if i dont catch those 2 side effects.. maybe it will do me some good? thanks for your advice everyone.
I'm only 27 and right now I'm on lithium, celexa, trazadone and ambilify. I can't focus not even while driving, just can't concentrate... gained 30 pounds ! I get dizzy, I have no interest in sex..... Help !! I need a good BP med and a good AD med without the weight gain and loosing interest in sex. My anxiety is terrible too. Any suggestions ?
Wellbutrin normally has the opposite affect. Some antidepressants do cause weight gain, but often we can be emotional eaters due to depression and be eating more than we realize. I tried for years to blame my weight problem on my antidepressant because I thought I wasn't over-eating. I also take Propanolol which is very well known for causing weight gain. Finally, I realized it was not how much I was eating, but "what" I was eating.
My son has been takiing this med Vyvanse for adhd, so I decided to take it to see if it would help me with my depression and anxiety, and it worked great, I didn't have any side effect to it. This is why I ask if its okay to take Vyvanse for my anxiety, right now I'm taking celexa but its not doing nothing for me anymore. I've been taking Celexa for the past 3 yrs and I think its time for me to change my meds.
If you mean snri, such as Effexor and Cymbalta, these are very stimulating antidepressants (as is wellbutrin) and can cause anxiety because of that. Lexapro and Celexa are very similar medications -- Lexapro is basically Celexa with some of it removed -- and these are ssris. Sometimes you can get rid of the sexual side effects by adding a small dose of wellbutrin to them. The question is, if you were on meds that worked, why were you switched? Did they stop working?
