Xanax and Wellbutrin
by Pegster71, Mar 24, 2009 03:15PM
I am taking xanax xl, 1 mg/day for anxiety and just started taking wellbutrin, 150 mg almost three weeks ago. Since taking the wellbutrin I have felt more depression. Do these medications mix. Also take a sleeping pill at night and that helps but I wake up with severe anxiety. I lost my daughter more than a year ago and am a caretaker for my husband. Any suggestions for different medications?

I'm sorry to hear you have been through such a rough time. Wellbutrin can take several days to work sometimes 6-8weeks. You may just have more depression but you said that you are taking xanax and another benzo, it would be helpful to know what it is. Do you have psychiatrist? At this point if you are having such severe anxiety -it's better to get a psychiatrist consult who has a better grasp on pyschopharmaceuticals. Though we can be supportive, we can't be a replacement for good medical care. There are plenty of meds out there that don't have such tranquilizing effects and help with anxiety. Considering what you've gone through, have a chat with a therapist would be beneficial.
