My pdoc added Wellbutrin to my Nortriptyline (70mg), because I am still depressed. Since I experience heart racing on the Nortrip, we had to stop at 70mg for a while and he suggested to augment with Wellbutrin. He started me out with 100mg in the morning. Today is my second day and I expected a totally different experience from the Wellbutrin from what I have read. I thought it's supposed to be energizing, motivating, uplifting. After I took my first dose with breakfast yesterday, about 1/2 hour later I got so tired I fell asleep for 2 hours. When I woke up I felt like all my energy had been drained from me; I had this empty feeling (like you have no emotions), and felt drousy.
Did anybody else ever experience similar symptoms like this on Wellbutrin? And if, will they eventually go away? It is scaring me and I don't know if I want to continue taking it. I'll see my pdoc in 4 days, but the thought of taking it again tomorrow has me already scared. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
