> Thanks for answering, Kaye. I've been on it since March, but she started me on a baby dose of 37.5mg. IR. I've only been on the 150mg. for a week. Before that was 100mg. for a couple weeks. So there is still hope.

Yes, there is plenty of hope, if you've only been at 150 for a week! I take 450mg of the XL, and it's fabulous for me. Not quite enough on its own, but quite good for me.XL is a little different than SR, but I started at 150mg and started feeling an improvement after about ten days -- but that was after going up to 300mg. I'd say, go up to the 300, and give that two to four weeks. See how you do.
And, personally, I'd try adding Prozac to the Wellbutrin before I would try Effexor. I've taken Effexor, and it was OK, but you're right -- the withdrawal can be a problem, so you may as well see where this horse takes you before you switch, right?
Good luck with it. If it's near as good for you as it has been for me, I think you'll do well. I really hope so.
