Hello.

I started Wellbutrin at 300mg, then upped it to 450 but insurance changed and can no longer afford the 450. I like Wellbutrin but no dose has helped enough with anxiety, so doc and I discussed options. One option is adding Zoloft or Paxil or Prozac or Cymbalta or Buspar. I've never taken a mix.

I'm not crazy about Prozac (was on it years, seemed to stop being helpful, although the primary reason I discontinued it was that it started causing me to have horrible stomach pain within a minute or minutes after taking it).

I'm also not very open to Paxil because when I took it alone, many years ago, I was lethargic and unmotivated - from the med or the med just didn't help, I can't be sure, but my memory is that it was from the med.

Have you used or do you use a combination Wellbutrin (+ any of the above) that worked/works for you [I know, we are all different, but still asking ] and whether you have had good or not so good experiences, would you be willing to share here?

I'm leaning toward adding Zoloft, just from researching it. Additionally, I take 300mg Gabapentin at night for sleep and Xanax PRN (rarely - a last resort).

Thank you for reading this far, and for any comments and shared experiences!
