In reply to One more try - Klonopin and Wellbutrin, posted by Joe Schmoe on July 3, 2001, at 10:43:11
> Okay, talked to my doctor and she has given me Klonopin to try for my social anxiety and Wellbutrin SR to try for my depression. Wish me luck. I don't know if this would be better than Paxil+Wellbutrin but I tend to trust the benzos more since I know Xanax works, and I know Paxil neutered me (quickly too - like a freight train hitting me below the belt within days of starting the stuff).
> Anything I should know about Wellbutrin? I figure Klonopin is like a long-acting Xanax. My Klonopin dosage will be .5 mg per pill - that sounds large compared to the .25 mg Xanax pills I take now on occasion but I will try it. Wellbutrin dosage will be 150 mg, twice a day for 300 mg total. Trying not to get hit by the horses as I climb back on the merry go round....> Good thing your doctor gave you Klonopin along with the Wellbutrin. On Wellbutrin alone, especially at the beginning of the treatment, I had the most annoying tremors and couldn't sleep for three days straight. The second time I tried it (Wellbutrin) I was on Klonopin and none of these problems occured (presumably because of the anti-spasmodic and/or anticonvulsant and sedative properties of benzos, needless to say, but I said it anyway).
