Anybody ever take Wellbutrin? I started lexapro a month ago and the side effects were terrible. My doctor put me in Wellbutrin. I’ve been on 150mg for 4 days now... yesterday all day it felt like it was maybe working. Or maybe it was just a good day. I’m not sure. But anyways, last night I had a full anxiety attack. And I spiraled so so so so hard. Maybe I’ve been bottling it up and it just all came out? Or could it be a sign that the new meds and making me manic or not working right?

I was on Wellbutrin a while ago...it did wonders for my depression I was the happiest I had been for a while but it spiked my anxiety and ocd and trichitellomania...I’m on Prozac now

I take Wellbutrin for depression. It helps a lot. But it’s a stimulant, so when I first started using it, my hair pulling became so bad I ripped out both of my eyebrows—usually I just tug/break the hairs. However, N-acetyl l-cystine has helped greatly with that. Thanks to Wellbutrin I quit smoking immediately and entirely—once I took my first pill I didn’t even think about cigs for a full week. I don’t crave them and they don’t satisfy me. I hope this was helpful and not too tangential

Thank you... something to consider

It’s all about finding the balance between medications that work for you and together. Not to mention what works best with your genetic predispositions. I’m on a mix of focalin for adhd, Zoloft for OCD and anxiety and Wellbutrin which was like a final puzzle piece for me. Honestly it takes time and it’s strenuous but so worth it!!! Try to ask your psychiatrist what might work with each other well!
