Hi Edgefield -
I've been on Wellbutrin (400 mg) for about 3 years. I've had a huge problem with fatigue since last fall, and I have added Prozac to the Wellbutrin (for the side effects!) It does make me sleep less, though I'm not as awake as I would like to be.
Wellbutrin can make you irritated and edgy at first (it feel sort-of like you've had too much coffee) - so if you take it, I would advise to start low and go slow.
I started taking Wellbutrin because I was tired (not as tired as I am now), so the edginess and insomnia didn't bother me too much, as that was actually sort-of what I was looking for. For me, it did go away after about a month (but this was on 300mg).
Hope this helps and good luck with your dr this week!
> Zeliva, would you please let me know how much Prozac and Wellbutrin you are taking? Have you experienced any additional anxiety or panic attacks from the Wellbutrin? Am I understanding that you are taking Provigil, Prozac and Wellbutrin?
