Hey Cara!! It's good to hear from you. I have sent you a few forwards here and there but haven't e-mailed you in awhile. You sound like you are going through the same thing I went through. I was on Lexapro for a year and it did wonders for my anxiety and IBS. I never had an attack on it. However my sex drive was horrible!! Finally this summer I talked to my doctor about it since we were taking 10 year trip to the Bahamas and I wanted some romance and fun! Well I weaned off the Lexapro very very slowly while adding Wellbutrin in. The Lexapro was very hard to wean off of. I had some weird withdrawl symptoms. I am now on Wellbutrin only 1 pill a day of 150mg and I found that it is working ok for my anxiety. I am more emotional than I was on the Lexapro. I swear I was so mellow on it. But I do have to say my sex drive is right back where it should be! Which is nice. I have had a few attacks but nothing super bad. I figure it it keeps my IBS to a minium and I have my libido back then it is worth it. My doctor said that Wellbutin can work for anxiety too, not just depression. Which I don't suffer from. I hope that helps. E-mail if you have anymore questions. And send some pics of the kids soon if you have any!
And Michele what kind of news do you have??? Anything good?
