In reply to Effexor XR and Wellbutrin XL Combo, posted by Torque on January 6, 2004, at 14:22:09
> Anyone on this combo? I am taking 150 mgs of Effexor XR and was recently feeling flat and had some sexual side effects (male). Doc suggested adding 150 mg of Wellbutrin XL. It's been about 7 days for this combo, and I'm feeling hyped, kinda buzzed and uncomfortable around people. I'm a very hyper/anxious person without meds and am wondering if I should ride it out or stop the wellburin XL. I also take 1 mg of klonopin at night.
Although I'm not currently taking Effexor, I am taking Wellbutrin - I had a similar reaction to the one you describe during the first week to 10 days on it, but since then those side effects have largely, if not completely gone away (I'm in the 7th week of treatment). Of course I realize that everybody's reaction to meds is often unique, and it's difficult to qualify one individual's experience on a drug to someone else's, I thought this might be useful for you to consider since ultimately it may be worthwhile for you to ride this out for a few more days. -vm
