> Has anyone tried this Wellbutrin alone without anything else? Did it help with your sex drive? And did it help with any of the symptoms of depression? What was the cost compared to Effexor XR?

> I am taking 400mg Wellbutrin I’ve been taking it for about 1 month. As I have said, WELLBUTRIN SAVED MY LIFE AND RESTORED MY SANITY. Effexor pretty much destroyed me and my life. I stuck with it (Effexor xr 225mg) for 3 months hoping it would eventually "start working". Everyone’s brain chemistry is different. To answer your question: Wellbutrin alone has helped me tremendously. Occasionally, actually rarely, I take Xanex .5mg.
The Xanex helped with withdrawing from Effexor.

Effexor killed my sex drive. Which is very unusual for me. I have a great sex drive now, Wellbutrin helped from day 1.
I still have crying spells everyday, but my fiancé' recently left me because he didn’t understand my mood swings and depression. So im attributing my crying to life.
Today my pdoc added a very low dose of Trileptal
as a mood stabilizer (bi-polar). I don’t really know if I need it. But I trust her very much for getting me on proper meds .
BY THE WAY... The effexor xr was prescribed by my GPdoc NOT my Pdoc
Best wishes,
Cindy
