In reply to Seeking Wellbutrin w/Effexor Experiences, posted by PaintItBlack on August 9, 2001, at 16:15:48
hi,
I was on Effexor + wellbutrin for about 8 months. The Wellbutrin alone didn't help my depression, either -- the Effexor alone made me a complete zombie. Together, I was a LITTLE bit less fatigued, and my mood was better, but I was still pretty zombie-ish. Also, my sex drive never improved. :(I ended up getting off of the Effexor -- am now on Prozac + Wellbutrin, which is definitely less sedating. Sex drive? Pretty nill.
Take care!
-cindy> I am starting a combination of Wellbutrin SR and Effexor XR. My doctor thinks it may be useful to start both at the same time. I've been on Wellbutrin before, but not noticed any difference. (My pdoc thinks there was a slight improvement.) I've been on low doses of Effexor, but slept through it, so who knows.

Should I expect insomnia or somnolence? Will sex be possible, or even disireable? Who will win the Super Bowl?
