wellbutrin

Avatar f tn I wanted to switch from Zoloft (only have been on it for 3 months 50mg) to Wellbutrin XL 150mg once per day. Zoloft made me gain weight which made my depression worse. I am not good at taking more than one pill per day and I know with Wellbutrin, and Wellbutrin SR, more than one is required. I would wanted a timed release anyway, with one pill only. My dr, said she looked it up in her book, and Wellbutrin XL 150mg, is only prescribed for SAD and to quit smoking.
Avatar f tn VE SUFFERED FROM PANIC DISORDERS FOR A LONG AS I REMEMBER. SO I WENT TO MY PHYCHITRIST AND SHE SUBSCRIBE WELLBUTRIN XL FOR A BOOSTER. PERHAPS TO HELP MY EMOTIONAL EATING AND DEPRESSION. I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW FIRST 150 MGS FOR 7 DAYS THEN 300MGS THAT I'M AT NOW.
10379139 tn?1409706165 My father killed himself when I was 2 so my thinking process from the wellbutrin is scaring me. I still have some Zoloft. Should I stop the wellbutrin and restart Zoloft immediately? This is such a terrible feeling. Anyone ever have this problem with wellbutrin?
Avatar f tn To get about the same result you had with Nefazodone with no weight gain I would recommend sertraline (Zoloft) combined with Wellbutrin XL. To get a significant antagonizing effect to your 5-HT2 receptors you would need mirtazapine but it is related with weight gain so I would try the Zoloft with Wellbutrin XL which will basically in a SNDRI like Nefazodone and see how it goes.
Avatar n tn Can you please tell me if Wellbutrin XL will help with anxiety issues. Or can the medication Cymbalta be of better use?
Plant Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you that there shouldn't be any contraindication to taking Ibuprofen, Acetominophen or Aleve with those two medications. Hope that helps!
Avatar f tn Well, sometimes it's not a bad idea to get a new look on things by seeing a different psychiatrist. I don't know how far into your education you are, but if it's early in your college stay you're going to need help from time to time. If you're adamant about not seeing another shrink, try setting up a telephone appointment with you doc at home. There could be several things happening. It could be the drugs just aren't working as well anymore.
Avatar n tn I am currently taking 400mg XL of Wellbutrin, one upon rising and one 3-4 hours later and then at night I take 50mg Zoloft. I would like ot have a weaning off of the wellbutrin schedule and eventually the zoloftor both at the same time if possible. They seem to help for awhile and then not anymore and I can't afford to keep paying for them.
Avatar f tn My doctor started me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg and I felt great the first couple of days, however I now get very depressed in the afternoons, dwelling on the past - how I could have done things better and how messed up my life is now, the doc wants to increase the dose to 300mg but these pills are expensive!! I can't afford to pay $120/month just for these....isn't there anything cheaper that would help?
Avatar n tn I was wondering if reducing the Wellbutrin to 150 and adding Zoloft would be good? I took Zoloft in the past and it worked. I think the Wellbutrin is good for fibromyalgia and I don't want to give it up completely.
Avatar f tn what is the safest way to wean off wellbutrin 300 xl?
Avatar f tn m on meds that are suppose to be the best to not gain weight on. I take 300mg Wellbutrin xl and 100mg Zoloft XR. I have a terrible fear of being fat. Any opinions on what I can do?
Avatar n tn Wellbutrin is stimulating, you may want to discuss this with your doctor. It may be the culprit with your insomnia. Take care.
Avatar n tn I have been on Wellbutrin XL 300mg for awhile now after trying lots of different medications. I still feel very blah, no energy, tired all the time...what do you suggest???
Avatar f tn I have been on Wellbutrin 300 mg XL for 1 year and due to anxiety, psyc dr. has added Zoloft - 25 mg for a week then up to 50 mg. I took 25 mg. yesterday at 1 PM and yawned a lot throughout the afternoon. When I went to bed, I took 25 mg. Visteral, prescribed by my dr. for insomnia. I try not to take it every night, it's usually after about 4-5 nights of not being able to sleep. I went to sleep last night, but woke up 3 hours later and couldn't go back to sleep even though I felt sleepy.
Avatar n tn I was on Wellbutrin xl for about a year but lost my insurance and was unable to afford it. It worked great except for an occasional panic attack. My doctor decided to try some different meds that would be on the walmart generic plan for $4. First it was zoloft that has awful sexual side effects, and in turn would cause problems with my husband. Now I am on celexa which I absolutely HATE!!! I am so tired. I have four children and I dread everyday that i have to get up.
1699033 tn?1514113133 Okay, I have been on Wellbutrin 300 xl (generic) for more than a month now. I am still a little jittery in the morning but not as bad. I get headaches every afternoon/evening and so I have to beat them to the punch with an Aleve at about 2:00 and even then I may still get the headache but just not as bad. Constipation has set in, still dealing with the dry mouth, and I have breakthrough panic attacks. I have been trying to self-coach my way through them..
Avatar f tn I've been on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg once a day for a week now and while it helps tremendously with my depression and energy levels, it makes me more anxious and every so often I get a panic attack. I take 1mg Klonopin a day divided in quarters, should I take more? Doc wanted to put me on SSRI's but had a bad reaction to them so no....they're out. Thanks!
977053 tn?1248490023 I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY MEDS THAT CAN BE ADDED TO ZOLOFT TO HELP WITH PANIC ATTACKS? I HAVE BEEN ON ZOLOFT FOR A YEAR AND IT IS NOT HELPING WITH THE ATTACKS I HAVE THEM WHILE DRIVING AND BEING IN A CAR ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NO MEDS HAVE HELPED IVE BEEN ON EFFEXOR,PROZAC,PAXIL. IWHEN I WAS ON PROZAC THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENED NO CLUE WHY I WONDERED IF MAYBE I WAS ALLERGIC AND THATS WHAT CAUSED IT I DONT KNOW NO DOCS SEEM TO KNOW.
Avatar m tn I just spoke to my doctor about starting Zoloft and I'm so freaked out that I think I'm going to lose my mind! First off I went through the horror of the Paxil withdrawals and I hear that Zoloft is also very hard to get off of. I seem to have issues with anxiety and depression and my doctor seems to think that this will help with both of the issues as Paxil seemed to. Here's the catch though, when I was taking Paxil it totally killed my sex drive and made me very tired.
Avatar f tn My Dr has switched me from Zoloft 100mg to Wellbutrin XL 300mg because after 6-7 years it seems the Zoloft isn't having the same helpful affects on me that it used to. I asked about upping the dosage but he said it would be better to switch to Wellbutrin. My concern is that he is wanting me to switch same day, no tapering off or cross tapering. Take Zoloft today and and then stop tomorrow and start Wellbutrin in the morning. Am I looking forward to some tough withdrawal?
Avatar f tn I had problems with insomnia so my psych added 100mg Zoloft and changed the Wellbutrin to 150mg XL once a day. I take the Wellbutrin in the morning and I take the Zoloft at night at night before I go to sleep. I wake up feeling really groggy and foggy headed. It takes me a good few hours to fully wake up. I'm good for a few hours and then by 12pm I just crash. By 9pm I'm wide awake! I have to work at 8:30 am so I need to sleep a full night to be able to work the next day.
