I was taking Zoloft for 3 years after being on Prozac, trazadone, TCA's. I found zoloft to be great, however, was disturbed by the lack of 'zing' and passion in my life, which I know to be a common complaint. Dr. started me on Wellbutrin and for a while, as I was coming off the Zoloft, I felt absolutely great. Lately I've been irritable, weepy and emotional, but NOT depressed (there is a difference). Soooo, after discussing it with my Dr., decided on supplementing with Effexor because what I've read about it's multiple neurotransmittor hits is intrigueing. Horrible nausea the first night lasting into the day. Is this common and does it go away? I'm willing to go back to Wellbutrin & Zoloft, but want to give Wellbutrin/Effexor a try. Any thoughts/experience? Dosages? Would I still also need the Wellbutrin, or is Effexor usually sufficient? Any help is appreciated.
