I'm now taking 150mg. Sr wellbutrin and still not getting any relief from depression. I also take xanax, 1.75mg daily.
I started out at 37.5mg. and slowly titrated up to 150mg. SR. My pdoc wants me on 300mg. SR. Is it possible to get a response at 300mg. when so far I have felt nothing? I am getting very discouraged.
I feel that xanax helps my depression more! She prescribed Effexor XR at first but my insurance wouldn't cover it--so BC/BS recomended wellbutrin in its place. I don't understand why? They are two very different ad's. One hits serotonin and norepinephrine(at high doses) and the other (Wellbutrin) soaks your brain in norepinephrine and dopamine. I don't get how an insurance co can dictate what drug I have to take.
Should I give up now on the WB and try something else? The only positive thing on it is increased libido which prozac had totally killed for four years.
