I was prescribed prozac 2 months ago (20mg) which barely touched me, then it was increased to 40mg which helped a little but I was still very apathetic and lacking in energy. My doc added 150mg of wellbutrin last week to give me an added boost. I definately have more energy but am a little anxious. I had to cut down on my coffee (the caffeine on top of the wellbutrin made my heart race). I was also have what felt like "electric shocks" through my body periodically. Yesterday I started experiencing a metalic-like taste in my mouth which is quite gross. I have also been experiencing these weird "half awake" kinds of "dreams" that almost seem like hallucinations. Very weird.

I don't know if I can continue on the wellbutrin because I am anxious and at times crawling out of my skin. I am also compulsively eating again, which happens when I feel anxious. I am concerned that I will need to stop the wellbutrin which was my last chance in regards to continuing on the prozac. My doc has said that if this combo didn't work we would need to try a completely different AD and I would be starting all over again.

In reading the posts I know people have had to try many different meds before they found the right mix but it just makes me tired to think I will need to start all over again!

Has this combo worked for other people? Is it common to add wellbutrin on top of other AD's?
