In reply to Bleauberry - Tell me more about Wellbutrin please, posted by Laney on April 7, 2010, at 20:49:55
Hi Laney..if you responded well to Paxil for a long time, I would try another SSRI..you could cross-taper over to Zoloft or Lexapro.
I had a pretty bad response to Wellbutrin..it's not that uncommon. It raised my anxiety pretty drastically.
Before I became treatment resistant I did very well for long periods of time on Zoloft and also Lexapro combined with Ritalin.
There are many different schools of thought here on Babble regarding what posters feel is the best med or best combo. It can be very confusing and stressful and you have to keep in mind that a lot of us are treatment resistant.
My advice would be to tell your doctor that you're feeling awful on Wellbutrin and discuss a cross taper over to another SSRI. I found when I was responding the last SSRI I was on, adding modafinil or Alertic as it's called here, really gave me a boost of energy, focus and motivation.
I hope you hit on the right combo that will work for you.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get another 13 years mileage out of another med. That would be a dream come true for me and I'm sure many others here.
Best of luck and keep posting.
