taking paxil for anxiety and depression
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.
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!
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!
