Hi: Yes, my fibro doctor and my primary physician know about the Wellbutrin XL and Elavil(Amitryptaline). In my case the Elavil is such a low dose it's not considered a problem with the Wellbutrin and this is often done with fibro patients. My fibro doc was glad to hear I was on Wellbutrin XL. I was told that the Wellbutrin XL would just increase the effects of the Elavil, thats why I went down from 25mg to 10mg of Elavil at night. I do think I am going to switch to Wellbutrin SR. I've actually had to lower my WellbutrinXL dose from 300mg to 150mg because at 300mg I tend to get a raging attitude especially during pms. And raging is something I NEVER do normally. I have a feeling the SR won't hold on so long in my system, hopefully metabolize quicker. What's disappointing is, I just have absolutely no energy as I did in the beginning of taking Wellbutrin XL. I mean I was up early, motivated, cleaning my house, getting chores done, I felt alert and on the ball. I wish I still felt as I did at the beginning of Wellbutrin XL. I'll enquire about the SR and let you all know how it works when I switch.
Thanks for all of your support! ;)
