Hi Karalyn,
I'm just wondering, what other side effects have you encountered on Wellbutrin besides the runny nose? I took 50 mgs of Wellbutrin this morning and would like to know what to expect for the first couple of days.
It's just a thought but maybe your decrease in Lexapro is giving you a stuffy nose. When I started Lex I had every flu symptom (runny nose, sore throat, lack of concentration) but it wasn't the flu because I didn't have a fever. The flu symptoms started as soon as I began Lexapro.
But I've noticed that some people who decrease their Lex dose sometimes experience the side effects similar to the ones people get when starting the medication. And didn't you decrease your dose right when you started the Wellbutrin. Maybe you could go back up to 20 mgs and see if the runny nose doesn't go away? If it does than you know it was caused by the decrease in Lex, if it doesn't then you'll know the Wellbutrin is causing problems.
Or, I could be completely off base with that little theory. It was just a thought.
