Hello.
I was put on Lexapro and Wellbutrin SR 150 mg 2xday Extended Release a little over a month ago. I took Lexapro for a week or so before I started Wellbutrin. I feel once I started the Wellbutrin with Lexapro I did feel more awake (I was sleeping my life away) continued on but still having crying fits at any point and time etc. I took it both for about 1.5 months or a little shy of it. I was still a mess (all last week still) so I paid out of pocket to go back to my Pyschatrist that treated me the past 2 years before I lost insurance (she now don't take my insurance) I was in dire need. I am quitting Lexapro bc it made RLS worse but she changed my Wellbutrin to 1x day XL 300mg Extended Release but has added Lamotrigine (mood stablizer) which I go from 25-100mg thru out 4 weeks.
Oddly, the past 2 days for me have been the better of the days that I have had in 6 months with this depression. I am having to self talk and push a lot out of my mind still and just focus on other things .. but I'm wondering if the Wellbutrin 300 is helping me out to feel better? I'm praying to keep having days like this even though I know I'm not "OK and all better". So I'll keep you updated how it goes bc I don't want to say Wellbutrin didn't do anything for me .. but it didn't make me do anything out of the way .. I just still cried a lot!
