Added Wellbutrin to my mix

Posted by fayeroe on August 10, 2008, at 15:48:04

and I am having headaches and diarrhea...I will tough it out as I think that adding it to the Lamictal may help me.

I cannot deal with the "low-grade depression" that I've had for the past year.

Pdoc and I are in agreement about the possibilities of the addition.....

which version? how much? when are you taking it? w/ food?

maaaaaany yrs experience w/ all versions at diff. dosages so ask away if you have any questions to help ride it out.

fingers crossed for a positive addition to the cocktail.

p.s. forgot if you're a caffeine person but cutting the caffeine consumption can help headaches during wellbutrin startup for many.

Hi Pat,
I added wellbutrin a couple mos ago. It REALLY made a difference. I recently doubled my dose (from 150mg SR to 300mg SR) and noticed that I have NO anxiety whatsoever, and focus and am not sedated or depressed. miracle.

The rest of my cocktail (with a maraschino cherry, please)

300mg lamictal
300mg wellbutrin SR (generic)
100mg zoloft

occasional sonata for sleep, and klonopin for emergencies

GOOD LUCK!!!
-Ll

I really get confused with wellbutrin as one week on it I appeared hypomanic on it to my pdoc. Why would that be? Pat I do hope it works well for you. Phillipa

Hey Noodle, thanks for the information. I am waiting with bated breath for the gust of fresh that will blow through my mind and soul and sweep the rest of the depression away.

I'm so tired of the blah feeling. Moods, so to speak, are stable. Make sense?

I'm on 150mg and I don't know if he plans to up the dosage.

xoxoxo pat
