I think the docs (or at least mine) like to do one thing at a time--that way they can better see what effects are being casued by which drug. In my case the wellbruitrin was added to boost the zoloft.
> I think when I was on 200mg zoloft/day I began began very slowly with the welbruitrin, 75/day, then 150/day (2 75's) then the 150 sr/day. then two 150 sr/day . That made me too hyper, my current wellbruitrin dose is 100 sr twice a day. Was trying to cut back on zoloft, was down to 100/day but now back to 150/day. Hope this helps.

I was on 450 mg (150 three times a day) of Wellbutrin and 30 mg. ADDerall twice a day for ADD and/or depression. I felt less stressed, but still acted like a "blond" ( I am blond, so I guess I can joke about it!). My psychiatrist is now trying Effexor. I am up to 75 mg. XR twice a day and I still take 150 mg Wellbutrin SR once a day, and ADDerall 10 mg. three times a day. I had to cut back on the ADDerall ater I started the Effexor because my blood pressure went up. I'm now a sleepy space case, which makes it hard to have much self esttem. I can't seem to manage both work and hoome reponsibilities. I need the money, so work has been using up all of my ennergy. Fortunately, I LOVE what I do. I'm an elementary school substitute teacher.
Sorry to ramble so much, but at least you can scroll through it if I bore you. Face to face I might talk your ear off. I need to remind myself not to interrupt people, and to ask them questions about themselves. >>>So, tell me more sabout your symptoms and attempts at feeling better...
