I just started Effexor XR 37.5mg {starter pack}, and I am dropping the Wellbutrin XL 300mg. I am supposed to cross-taper, so I will be on Wellbutrin XL 150mg for two weeks while I do a week of Effexor XR 37.5mg and then during week 2 I will start at Effexor XR 75mg.
I am wondering if anyone has taken Effexor XR with Provigil 100mg. I also take Trileptal 300mg twice a day {was at 600mg twice a day but Provigil caused Trileptal side effects to return immediately after dosing (about an hour) and holding off the Provigil dose until a few hours into the day}. My pdoc told me it is a good thing I am on the Trileptal in case the Effexor switches me into hypomania.
I just hope the Effexor does not cause fatigue or make me more stupid. i guess I could just go from 75mg to 37.5mg again if the side effects are unmanageable.
The last time I was on Effexor was a little over 4 years ago, and I was on nothing else. The side effects were very prominent, and I did immediate-release and XR.
