In reply to Wellbutrin to Effexor, posted by Draisy on March 19, 2004, at 3:36:16
Now I am really worried about trying Wellbutrin from what I heard about seizures. I am slowly still tapering off Effexor. I want to get pregnant then try Wellbutrin afterwards if I still need it because my sex drive is at extremely low.

> I love Wellbutrin but had a seizure on it, on 400 mg a day SR (another friend of a friend had aseizure on it too). my psychiatrist wants to change me to effexor but i'm freaking out about the possibility of weight gain and sexual dysfunction. I am going off wellbutrin rapidly (my doctor is scared of another seizure) and i am sinking into a colossal depression. can someone please give me advice about what to do?

> I DON'T WANT TO GO OFF WELLBUTRIN! It has made such a difference in my life - isn't it possible for me to go on a lower dose and not have to deal with further possible seizures? (I woke up in a pool of blood on my floor after the seizure and I still don't want to go off wellbutrin - that's what a god-send this drug has been.)
