Need AD advice: Effexor, Wellbutrin and side effects       04/23/07 02:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Lisa Marie Reged: 07/17/06 Posts: 1566 Loc: Lakewood, CO I posted this on the diet board, but thought I would post here, too: I had been taking 150 mg/day of Effexor, but depression symptoms started coming back. My doctor upped my dose to 225 mg/day, which caused two things to happen: my C got noticeably worse (the 150 mg/day dose of Effexor also increased my C), and I began having sexual side effects. I've been at this increased dose for 6.5 weeks, and the side effects have not gone away. My doctor has suggested two options: 1. Add Wellbutrin to lessen the sexual side effects. But this means adding another med - I'd rather go in the opposite direction! 2. Wean off the Effexor and onto Wellbutrin. She warned, however, that the Wellbutrin might not be as effective in treating my depression. The Effexor has done a great job of that. What do you guys think? Has anyone tried Wellbutrin, and does it cause C? Any input on sexual side effects (or other side effects) with Wellbutrin? -------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa, IBS-C (Vegan) Stable since July 2007!
