Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn s anyone out there who has ever been on the combination of Zoloft and Wellbutrin then please let me know how it worked and especially if they felt tired when they were on Zoloft by itself. I really feel like i'm at the end of my rope. I was doing well for a while and then things everything just seemed to wear off and I feel like I'm back at square one.
Avatar m tn Hello. The shakiness could be a side effect, if it continues or becomes especially troubling. As far as alcohol use, be VERY careful. Most antidepressants carry a warning against mixing with alcohol as in some people the combination can be unpredictable. This is probably more an exception than the rule, but I had an episode many years ago in which I drank on prozac and became violently agitated.
Avatar m tn m worried that the combination of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin can cause this. Is the combintation of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin safe? Thanks very much!
1756969 tn?1332437163 is it ok to take a combination of zoloft and wellbutrin sr? i am experiencing headaches and more so than normal fatigue during the day. i cant afford that!
Avatar f tn I have been on Zoloft for years (on and off). I had to go back on it in January after a 6 month break. My anxiety got so bad I was having severe panic attacks. This time when I went on the Zoloft it had the opposite effect....it was more stimulating that calming for me and I'm not sure why. Neither is my doctor. I also have OCD and it increased my OCD by 10x almost immediately. I'm at 100 mg now (for almost 7 weeks) and it hasn't gotten much better. I aslo take .
20632981 tn?1503687567 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.
Avatar m tn I would switch gradually to Cymbalta and see what happens rather than being on both. As for the Wellbutrin added to the mix it could help with libido since dopamine is in play. Both Zoloft and Wellbutrin sounds like something you could try before getting on Cymblata. I don't think you shoud mix Cymbalta with Wellbutrin personally.
Avatar n tn s a special herb that is having an effect on serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter and also have a stimulant adaptogen similar to nicotine and is way safer than Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin can lower the seizure threshold and can have nasty side effects. Wellbutrin action is with the norepinephrine ( adrenaline ) and dopamine neurotransmitter. This is why it is often used as a combo med with other SSRIs.
Avatar f tn Zoloft gave me my life back (also did a lot of CBT). I have still had panic attacks on Zoloft (but rarely) and usually I have triggered it by having too much alcohol followed by little sleep - a lethal combination for me. Overall Zoloft has been a Godsend and the only issue I've had is a lack of libido. After in depth discussions with my Dr's I had accepted that Zoloft was part of my life and that was ok.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn The combination of wellbutrin and zoloft was actually a smart move by your clinician. That combination is like a two in one knockout punch, in that if you don't respond then, we know it's not a matter of which neurotransmitter system that needs to be enhanced, but rather a matter of how to enhance them. With that being said, perhaps you should try an MAOI. EMSAM is the popular MAOI on the market right now, and luckily, there are no food restrictions at the lowest dose.
Avatar f tn 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.
337492 tn?1212458836 I take 200 mg Zoloft for depression and Klonipin for anxiety and Celebrex for arthritis. When I first wake up at 3:00 am, I feel sort of ok, that's when I take my Zoloft, Celebrex. After a few hours, I feel extremely tired, depressed, suicidal, so I start taking caffeine so I can go to work. I take enough caffeine that I get the jitters, but then I can pretend I'm ok, but it bothers my stomach.
Avatar n tn I had taken zoloft for many years and it had worked well but I was starting to be bothered by the fact that I COULD NOT CRY, was TIRED DURING THE DAY and maybe it could be keeping weight on me that I might lose if not for the medicine SO I went off the zoloft and switched to wellbutrin. I definitely had more energy, which was wonderful but I felt kind of mean, I said mean things etc. That is the kind of depression I have. Not the sad I want to die type but the irritable type.
5050843 tn?1362870326 This definitely could be withdrawal from the Zoloft and not the Wellbutrin. Zoloft is an SSRI and Wellbutrin is an atypical antidepressant...it's hard to transition from one drug to another when they're not from the same "family." I did manage to transition from Abilify (an antipsychotic) to Wellbutrin last fall so it can done but it was a rough few weeks. If the symptoms don't seem to be easing up at all you should go back to your doctor.
Avatar n tn I am in the midst of a major depression myself and am in the process of trying meds lexapro, celexa, Zoloft, and Wellbutrin have not worked for me so far. I see the doc next week so we will see... I too wake up with the worst depression but it goes away in about an hour, like boshogg42 said I think it's the thought of how long the day will be. Then the depression hits back hard at 6-8pm at night. Hang in there! Your doing better than me in the exercise dept.
Avatar f tn I went to see my doctor last week and he added zanax as needed and mentioned adding zoloft back with the wellbutrin. Has anyone done this and has it helped.
Avatar f tn I am an alcoholic. I have been sober for 4 years and 4 months. Will taking Wellbutrin effect my sobriety date?
Avatar n tn Are you sure it was Zoloft and not Zyban? I was prescribed Zyban to help me quit smoking and it worked very well. Its generic name is Wellbutrin, which is an anti-depressant, but a side effect of it is that it decreases the need or craving for nicoteen.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn read my posts about my zoloft struggle. wellbutrin and zoloft have made me agitated, wellbutrin was very bad and made me jittery, be cautious with the zoloft. you may not be able to tolerate the ssris which is common. zoloft may be more sedative for you. zoloft has seemed to have done well with my anxiety though and i am happy to report that i slept great last night FINALLY with no Klonopin help, i hope it continues. I like what you have to say about compassion and i agree.
Avatar f tn 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.
