I am in the process of trying to find my problems of wanting to sleep all the time, and have no ambition of doing anything..and not much interest.
I have been on paxil for depression and anxiety for years, last Sept my doctor added wellbutrin.   I have been looking up the side effects from the two meds to find out if they are the cause of this. feeling of being so tired  and not being able to function .....would they cause these emotions ? I feel confused at times, dizziness,
, loss of balance sweat  break outs.. I am going to my doctor Tuesday morning, he said it may be time to re elvauate my meds...
My question then is......would these two meds together cause these feelings ???????
