Hey everyone!
So my psychiatrist put me on 120 mg cymbalta at the beginning of the year for major depressive disorder and general anxiety. About 2 weeks ago he also prescribed Wellbutrin xl (generic) to help with my energy level and and with my fatigue. I was on 150 mg, but it made no difference at all. So he bumped it up to 300mg and there was a huge difference.... For the first 2 days. It's been downhill from there. It started with me feeling very jittery, mostly just my hands shaking. But I could deal with that because I was focused, alert and awake.. After 2 days it was back to being tired. I still kept taking it though hoping to feel again what I had felt those first 2 days.

Yesterday, after giving my dog bath, I was very tired, but also feeling very weak. I went out walking with my family later that night after sitting for a while and barely made it back to the house. I would get dizzy and sometimes miss a step and I felt like my legs would give out on me at any moment. This feeling continued today so I didn't do much. But now I'm wondering how long I'm going to feel this way. My doc told me after 2 weeks to give him a call if the Wellbutrin didn't work. But I can't keep feeling this way so I was thinking of giving him a call and letting him know about the side effects and see what he wanted to do. The last time we spoke he had said if the Wellbutrin didn't work he wanted to move on to a stimulant, like adderall. My friends freaked when they heard this saying that's only for something like ADHD and I haven't heard of many people taking that for depression.

Should I stop with the Wellbutrin and possibly move on to a stimulant or have I not given it a chance to work yet? Sorry for such a long post, I wanted to get some opinions or if you have a personal experience with any of these medicines I would love to hear it! Thanks!
