I only take 150 mg in the morning. But, I also take Prozac. I was hoping the tendency of Prozac to help constipation would off set the Wellbutrin.
I do wonder how much of this is me psyching myself out....actually influencing my constipation by worrying about it with the Wellbutrin.
I think you will get more C relief when you are off the Effexor. My doctor thinks Effexor is one of the more Constipating ADs.

I am now noticing a difference; I'm only taking 75 mg of Effexor a day, and things are getting much better. However, I've also had to increase my NC! I don't think I noticed any C when I was on Prozac, so I think you are right; it also didn't help my depression, though.
Have you done the hypno yet?

I took Welbutrin to block the effects of sexual side effects from Prozac, but the Welbutrin made me very anxious. I already have Panic Disorder so this was a very undesireable side effect to me!

I'm about a week into this, and so far, not too great. I started off with HORRIBLE C. But this has gotten a little better. I'm going daily now, but my BMs are a lot more incomplete than they were. I'm taking 225 mg of Wellbutrin per day and 75 mg of Effexor per day. I should be completely off the Effexor by Monday.
Not sure about the sexual side effects yet. I'm trying not to think about it!

How long did you take the Wellbutrin? I'm wondering because I had horrible anxiety too in the beginning, but I think it is passing after 2 months now.

Prozac alone wasn't cutting it for me either. That's why he added the Wellbutrin. I guess they each hit 2 different kinds of neurotransmitters....so I get them all working!
I feel like I have a defective body...nothing is working right!

Make it to Monday, then we see what the wellbutrin does on it's own!
Have you had to increase Acacia and/or NC?
Are you having anxiety issues with it?

Hi Jordy,
I don't know how long I took the Welbutrin for, but it wasn't for long! If you have been on it for 2 months and the side effects are passing- I think your good! When I first started Prozac I had side effects and was told they would pass- and eventually they did.

Ugh; C again today. It never ends!!
Yeah, I've been taking about 1.5 tablespoons of NC; I used to take just 1. acacia i'm still trying to increase, but i'm at about 7 teaspoons per day. no anxiety issues, but i still have trouble overeating. i just can't eat enough in one sitting to satisfy my hunger without making myself feel sick later. it's frustrating! i have to teach myself to eat less, and then i can eat more in a few hours.
how are you doing these days?
