taking paxil for anxiety and depression
by molsonpup55, Feb 05, 2009 12:02PM
I am currently taking 40 mg of Paxil for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. My doctor has suggested we try to add a low dose of Wellbutrin to this. What can I expect from this combo? I have never taken wellbutrin before.

Sometimes doctors will combine/and or try different combinations of medications to try to get the desired effect. Is this your GP or psychiatrist? For me, whenever I started an AD there was a little 'adjustment period' as the body adjusts. The good thing is your working with your doctor on this...being proactive is a very good trait to have when confronting this in my opinion. Keep us posted!

This is something that the psychiatrist suggested. The paxil has helped tremendously but sort of leaves me with lack of energy/ lathargic; I guess the wellbutrin will help with this? I'm glad to hear that this is a common thing to use combo's. Thanks for the encouragement!
