> Just recently requested to my doctor to go back on paxil. Years ago I was on xanax for a panic disorder without a phobia. Was on xanax for several years then weened myself off of that and went on paxil 40mg. I was trying this effexor months ago at 75mg and the last month or so 150mg for depression. I seemed to feel worse being on it so that is why I requested to go back on paxil.Wondering if I should ask to try this welbutrin some of you have mentioned.
pianoman,
I've been on effexor xr for 2 years. I started on wellbutrin to quit smoking and noticed the difference when I went off of it. The wellbutrin worked for awhile but it didn't seem to be enough. I'd say try it, I didn't notice any problems on it or going off. I'm dosing down off the effexor now. I've noticed increased side effects in the last two months. Can't go to sleep, can't wake up, kidney problems, muscle twitching, depression like before meds, no concentration, anxiety etc. Any suggestions for me? I can't take this stuff any more. I was doing better before but that wasn't great.
