Wellbutrin

Posted by sonic_gb on November 9, 2007, at 17:19:02

Hello,

I'm on day 10 of Wellbutrin 150SR x 2, and the anxiety has subsided somewhat, but I feel like I have very flat affect, and reduced motivation, as well as reduced energy. I think I also have some psychomotor slowing and have to think carefully before I speak. I thought Wellbutrin was supposed to have mostly the opposite effects. Is day 10 too quick to judge? I'm also on lorazepam 1mg TID and zopiclone 7.5 for sleep. Please tell me what your experiences have been with adjusting to Wellbutrin.

Sonic, from my experience, 10 days is too early to tell. Except for the first time I took Wellbutrin, every time since I have felt much like your description for the first 4-6 weeks.

Clubfitter, I never liked the effect of mixing Wellbutrin with SSRIs. The Wellbutrin just seemed to increase anxiety in those instances. That's a lot of Lamictal too, don't know how that's supposed to react with Wellbutrin.

A lot of geodon and this will make you very tired. Are you bipolar? Phillipa ps wellbutrin and benzos I appeared manic to my pdoc and ended up in the hospital and taken off the wellbutrin too stimulating for me but that's just me.
