The weird thing about the Wellbutrin/Prozac disaster is that each by themselves worked well. Wellbutrin turned out to be the best AD I took over the years. Prozac was very good, but it "pooped out" quickly.
I was started on the Wellbutrin initially for "ADD" and unfortunatly started off at a whopping dose 300mgm bid (twice a day) I questioned it initially just because of the size of the dose, but the physician who prescribed was a co-worker (who later acknowledged her mistake) and I generally trusted her judgement. When the Wellbutrin was begun the SECOND time the dose begun was much lower and it was built up gradually.
MORAL: If in doubt at all KEEP QUESTIONING!)
Also, I was not on any SSRI at that time.
