Hi Karalyn,
Tomorrow I'm adding 50 mgs of Wellbutrin to my 15 mg Lexapro dose. It's a small dose to start out with, but I have a very low tolerance to meds.
Like you I take my Lexapro at night and will be taking the Wellbutrin in the mornings. You mentioned that you aren't tired all day...I wish I could say the same thing. I've been groggy since starting Lex.
I don't think 150 mgs is "too much." My psychiatrist told me that I could go as high as 300 mgs - it just depends on what I'm comfortable with. I'd like to stay at a low dose if possible.
Like you, I'm worried about the Wellbutrin increasing my anxiety. But for that I have Klonopin and Xanax. I've found both to be very helpful during panic attacks and moments of high anxiety.
I'm adding the Wellbutrin to help counteract the groggy feeling I get with Lexapro. I hope we both get good results.
K.
