In reply to Effexor + Wellbutrin + 75lbs., posted by Debbie on April 6, 1999, at 2:32:10
I have been on effexor for two and 1/2 years. It worked well until, slowly, my weight started to creep a pound at a time. I was happy until I gained 75 lbs.!!!!( despite my dieting, exercise etc...)
> My doctor than combined wellbutrin and it is still not working. Now I need to come off of effexor and I am scared. Does anyone else have some experience with effexor+wellbutrin or gaining a lot of weight or detoxing from effexor and switching to another drug that works for you from effexor??PLEASE HELP!!!
Taper the dose of one back slowly as you increase
new medication esp. since you have been on it so
long. This may help some. And as always when in
doubt ask your doctor. But usually it does help
to slowly taper off on med and start the other
med at a low dose and increase as you taper back.Good Luck
