KRM--
You asked, "how long was it before you
noticed that the Wellbutrin was working for you?" well, um, to be honest i've not been convinced that it has "worked" for me. i think i started on 100, after 4 or 5 days, went up to 150, after 4 0r 5 days went to 200 (100 2x a day), then another 4 or 5 days, went to 150 2x a day......and that was horrendous--tremors, forgetfulness, clumsiness, you name it.so pdoc put it back to 200...at that time i was taking it with effexor and she had me drop that and start the zoloft. and i've been better on the anxiety after i started the zoloft...but still dealing with pretty awful depression...
i also take trazodone to help with sleep; i've always had insomnia and night terrors and the traz has helped hugely. and about 5 days ago i started on lamictal, so as you can see i'm on quite a cocktail....hoping that if the lamictal works for me i'll be able to come off osme of this other stuff.
and yes, it does seem like a guessing game, but i also think it is a bit of an art on the pdocs part. my pdoc asks a ton of questions--usually spends an hour with me and will return my calls when i get worried about possible side-effects.
thanks for your well wishes.......and some of the same for you. i really hope the combo works for you.
