Taking cymbalta with wellbutrin
Common Questions and Answers about Taking cymbalta with wellbutrin
cymbalta
In July 2008 I switched over from Zoloft and Invega to Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. At that time, these were my only medications. In August 08, when I stood up from my chair, my legs had terrible tremors. They were so bad that I had to hold onto the desk. This still happens today. I also experience leg tremors when descending stairs - but not going up. I get minor tremors while going from a standing to a sitting position. My right hand has started to tremor - kind of fast but mild.
Are you taking anything now? Wellbutrin is a drug that can be used by itself, or supplemented with another SSRI. The only drug I've had any luck with for anxiety is Lexapro. Maybe you could stay on the Wellbutrin and try another drug with it for the anxiety. A lot of people say Cymbalta is one of the worst experiences they've had, and I know everyone is affected differently, but right now I really think I want to try the Wellbutrin first.
m worried that the combination of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin can cause this. Is the combintation of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin safe?
Thanks very much!
Were you on Wellbutrin first and did well on it? Or, were you on Cymbalta first? If you really think Cymbalta is the med causing your anxiety you need to work with your Dr as far as tapering off it. Getting off it can be done. I took it myself and was able to taper with my Drs help until I was completely off it.
However you are taking lamictal and I wonder if you have had past problems with hypomania? Wellbutrin can cause a hypomanic episode in some people so watch out for that.
I think you are doing great tapering your pain pills. That is extremely hard to do and it is good that you found this site. Keep posting and people here will help you through that withdrawal.
One other thought, based on lots of personal experience, the pain pills cause depression.
I found this forum while searching for reasons people take Wellbutrin. I took it at first as a booster to cymbalta for OCD anxiety. I've never had depression, but when I get put on an ssri I get so depressed I develop suicidal thoughts, especially on amitriptelene sp?
I started taking Wellbutrin a month a ago. My life has been a rollercoaster since. I'm at my wits end. Has anyone experienced anger outburts after taking Wellbutrin. What has been your best combination of medicines to take for Bipolar? Has anyone been on medicines for a long period of time and been stabilized with this disease? I'm looking fo hope here. I am so frustrated.
nt cause me any problems in that area was Cymbalta. Wellbutrin and Cymbalta are in a different classes than the SSRI's so maybe that's why they don't effect the sex drive.
I have to switch my meds. I have depression and fibromyalgia and am on Cymbalta, but it doesn't seem to be helping me.....my doctor suggested Prozac since it is known to help fatigue better than the other antidepressants (supposedly). Thank you.
I have been on a combination of Wellbutrin (300 mg XL 1x/day), Cymbalta (30 mg 1x/day) and Geodon (20mg 1x/day). I also take 1500 mg Tyrosine 2x/day that has worked wonders. I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately that stays with me all day, and a little depression and irritability. I have been taking .5 mg Ativan as needed and I seem to need it almost every day.
Beachwalker, I have some very good news for you. I know of drug that is non-addictive and most drugs don't work on me at all and this one not only worked but it blew me away at how effective it was! The name of the drug is called Clonidine and not Kolonopin. It was originally made for high blood pressure, but don't worry, even you don't have high blood pressure, it won't hurt you.
I have come off of a lot of my medications. My final meds are Wellbutrin, Trazodone and Cymbalta. The Wellbutrin is suppose to take the place of the cymbalta. After horrible withdrawal, I came completely off of Cymbalta last week. I became so depressed that I couldn't stand to talk, much less move. All I wanted to do was sleep and be left alone. When I did interact, I was grizzly mean.
I have been taking cymbalta(60mg) and wellbutrin (200mg) daily for 3 years. I decided I was tired of taking it, it didn't seem to be helping me anymore, and I was tired of the expense. I quit wellbutrin cold turkey about a 5 days ago and I quit cymbalta cold turkey 3 days ago. I now feel like I am losing my mind. I have been feeling and acting somewhat manic. I have felt kind of 'hi' and actually like it.
The side effects have subsided and Ive slowly been upping the Wellbutrin. I just dont like taking meds and am fearful of getting some strange side effect.
Today I took 75 mg in the morning and 33 mg afternoon. It has been 2 weeks so I guess Ill have to wait and see. Funny, Prozac kicked in within a matter of days. I did try natural stuff too before I got on Prozac this time around, and I would agree, they didnt work.
i am thinkin about having my doctor start me on cymbalta or wellbutrin.. i have tried everything else and it didnt work that well for me.. those two are the only ones i know that have norepenephrine.. i dont know if i spelled that right... i was wondering if anyone had any bad reactions or anything good to say about either one.. and if it seem to make a difference with the serotonin and norepenphrine.. compared to just serotonin..
when i am working with someone on a long list of medication i get them to write down all their meds
then i will point out that some of the meds they are taking are for the same symptom and one can be stopped
for example, trazadone and ambien are sleeping pills, trazadone was used years ago for depression, not so much these days, plus your son is taking cymbalta and welbutrin for depression, i have not seen these 2 drugs being used together
then i figure out how many doctors they have, how many p
I am on 275 effexor and 150 long acting wellbutrin and my starch cravings do me in, So i will research if cymbalta could substitute for the wellbutrin which acts differently that effexor and the cocktail is otherwise acceptable. But if you know somethinghere about cymbalta v. Wellbutrin, I'd love to know.
NO you should not have been taking tramadol with either cymbalta or wellbutrin did the same doctor put you on all three of these !!!!!!! If you are taking tram or an anti you can NOT take 5 hpt ,sam e,L tyrosine....
Seizure Risk
Seizures have been reported in patients receiving tramadol within the recommended dosage range. Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of tramadol above the recommended range.
yep, i do believe i have deduced it is the wellobop that is adding this edgy/nervy feeling vs "helping" me. it was given to help with fatigue/energy during the day. i take cymbalta at nite. cymbalta and i get along fairly well at low dose.
sometimes i feel like i'm anxietied out for no reason. not like a MS anxiety or exacerbation anxiety. i think you folks clinched it for me. yep, i'm aksing for something else.
Do I need a larger dose or smaller dose? Getting very frustrated. Have also just went from taking cymbalta and abilify to the effexor and abilify, but went off the abilify because of the weight gain. Dr wanted me to try wellbutrin and go off the effexor, but don't think it was working. Now I'm really confused on what works. For a couple days of being off the wellbutrin and on 150 of effexor i fealt great. But 3 days later i feel horible again.
