In reply to Effexor XR vs. Wellbutrin, posted by Mia on July 25, 2001, at 16:58:00
Mia,
I've just made the switch. My sexual functioning has come back as I've decreased Effexor XR and come up on Wellbutrin SR. Yesterday my pdoc added 20mg of Celexa in the morning in place of my morning dose of EffexorXR. Today was my first day without Effexor and being on Wellbutrin and Celexa together.
So far so good. I know I can perform sexually again. My pdoc added the Celexa because of my obsession/compulsion.
The first week on Wellbutrin was the worst. I had a feeling like I was on massive amounts of Speed. Now it seems to have worn off. However, sometimes I have to search for the right word. I used to do that before Wellbutrin but it seems to be more pronounced lately. Also I have a massive will to get things done. I have not been this organized in my life ever!
All in all, so far so good. I hope you find the right meds for you. It's an adventure...That's for certain.
> I have recently went off of Effexor XR and started taking Welbutrin SR. Is anyone else on Welbutrin...and if so, what do you think? The reason I switched was because of the sexual side effects associated with Effexor. Welbutrin doesn't have those side effects...in fact, it is supposed to increase your sex drive. I've only been on it for a week and haven't noticed a difference....I'm on a low dose, 150mg, and will be increasing to 300mg next week.
