Hello everyone its been awhile since chatting...last time i posted a thread I had just been put on citalopram(celexa) with the wellbutrin and some adjustments and some months later Im back to ask if anyone has had the zoloft wellbutrin combo. I was on zoloft from age 17-23 and it worked then but then got off of it due to my recovery and wanted to be rid of everything but the depression creeped back and was on the zoloft briefly again but wanted something different to help with focus issues because im back in school. My doc tried me on wellbutrin for my attention and depression issues...it helps for focus (i refuse to go on a stimulant med for ADD because I am a recovering drug addict) but I was still depressed so he added the citalopram...I take 200mg of wellbutrin twice a day and im still exhausted from the citalopram (25 mg) and I dont remember ever being this lazy and blah on the zoloft so I want to switch , also because Im much more used to zoloft and how it works..but have never been on the combo. Any opinions??Experiences?? Thank you all
Thanks for this!

The Zoloft + Wellbutrin combo is used frequently, so frequently in fact that it gets its own nickname. Sometimes referred to as "Well-oft" by prescribers.

I'm on Wellbutrin 150 mg daily and 200mg Zoloft. The two work really well together for me. I'm still a little tired from the Zoloft and the sexual side effects suck, but it's been well worth it for me.

I'll hopefully be starting this combination after seeing my pdoc on the 22nd. I'm also curious to know how it affects people. So far I've heard good things.
weloft, that's cute!

Amongst other meds, I'm on 300mg Wellbutrin and 50mg Zoloft.
I have only recently started this combo.

I was just on this combo for allmost 2 weeks at day 6 the side efects got to the point at the 12 hour mark of taking meds I was psychcotic and terrified,after 4 days of this and told to just give it a chance I thought I had and I quit the wellbutrin150 xl. I have been on zoloft since 2005. It seems this combo works great for most but not all, as I found others in the same boat as me. I hope this combo works for you, I also say give it a chance. You will know how it works for you.
