Ok I'm officially off effexor- thankfully- 2 days now and so doc wants to start me on wellbutrin tomorrow. Just wondering how long is it going to take for this to take effect? I have no experience with it and know from past experiences some meds work faster than others. I'm still on 10mg of lexapro so I'm not at a complete loss but can feel the world slowly closing down on me... And with all of this stuff going on in the world it's just making it worse. I can't even turn on the tv without crying and feeling helpless. I'm feeling a lot of pressures right now from everywhere, work, home, etc and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to handle it all. Any advice would be helpful. Also has anybody had experience with the lexapro/wellbutrin combo????

I was on wellbutrin for about 6 months and for me it worked fairly quickly. it was very similiar to effexor w/ an energy boost and there were no sexual side effects. as w/ effexor, i quit smoking on wellbutrin but at the time, i took nothing for anxiety and was really *mean* so i quit taking it. good luck w/ it and keep us updated!!

Wellbutrin upped my anxiety levels but if you're apethetic they might balance out. Fondly, Phillipa
