Hi Lynn
Thanks for sharing. I think I need the Lex. as well. The Wellbut. helps me alot with depression, just not mood swings, anger, and anxiety. I am on WB 150sr twice a day. I do like that the WB does not make me gain weight. On Lexapro I do feel really HUNGRY all the time and notice like a 5lb weight gain. Maybe it is just bloating yuk!
Maybe I will add just 5mg of Lexapro to start. My doctor said to start low and increase if needed. I think she is just so tired of me going back and forth on what meds I have tried. Sometimes I feel like I know better than them (the dr.'s) because I know how my body reacts to different meds. I do get very hot and have a hard time sleeping on the Lexapro. Also, the last time I went off Lexapro I was dizzy and felt "different" for about a month after I completely stopped. (And I weaned very slowly off too) It is Weird how we all react different. Good luck to you.
