I have suffered with depression since my first child was born in 1993. My third pregancy in 1997 I remained on prozak. He is one happy little guy!
I became very depressed again in 2000 and have since been on a combination of wellbutrin and effexor. It has taken a while to get the combination just right but the current mix seems to be effective.
Hope this is some help. Laurie

I took paxil, zoloft, prozac - all of those. Didn't really notice anything. Then I asked for Wellbutrin. I did OK on that. I was supposed to take it twice a day. I did for a long time, then I only took it once a day. Just cuz I forgot lol.

Anyway, around the begining of the year, I decided to just taking it. I didn't talk to the dr first, I just stopped. I have been excersising and I feel pretty good.

Some days are better than others.

I don't know where I am going with this, just wanted to pitch in my $.02

Have a good day.

I've on Effexor and Wellburtin and since then I have not be able to lose weight. I've been at a stall since January and that is right when I started taking these meds together. I suffer from depression and anxiety. HTH

I have been on prozac for 10 years and it no longer works and im in a bad state, doctor suggested 2 things, prozac with wellbutrin,
or trying efflexor,

what do you think is best, I took wellbiutrin before while on prozac to quite smoking, only side effect, cant sleep at night,

im afraid to mess around here.

Help

Just curious about how long before you all seen a change once you started taking Wellbutrin? I have been on Wellbutrin XL 150 mg since Saturday. Tomorrow I go up to 300 mg... I know the doctor said that it takes about a week or so but I am telling you... I do have some increase energy and I have lost a lb this week but my mood, depression, episodes are NOT getting in better... I don't go back to the doctor until another 2-3 weeks and I know I am probably just being impatient. I know this isn't a miracle pill but damn... I really expected I would see something... Sorry to ramble..
