I'm currently taking 100 mgs bupropion, 20 mgs paroxetine, and 25 mgs trazodone. I recently tapered down from 30 to 20 mgs of paroxetine and actually had energy, I got out of bed early every day and was getting things done that I have been putting off for years because of being lethargic and not caring about anything. Now my doctor added 25 mgs of metoprolol for my blood pressure and I'm right back to being lethargic again ! Any suggestions ? I know the paroxetine makes me lethargic. I've been on it for years. I would love to get off of it completely but I need something for anxiety and every time I've tried to taper off I can't get through the withdrawals and end up back on it.

hi. if your doctor thinks its appropriate, you have some room to increase the bupropion. I think the recommended maximum is 450 mgs/day or something like that. for some people, that can help off set problems from ssri drugs, although there are risks and adverse effects to worry about, of course.
