Hi Geoff
Sorry you are having a tough time right now. I totally
understand the find the right drug ride. I have been
given 15 different drugs and combos to date
without much success. I had bad reactions to
several drugs some even caused temporary
psychosis. It may take your doctor time to find the
right drug for you.
It may even be that the withdrawal from the paxil is
causing your problems and not the wellbutrin. You
will have to ask your doctor to be sure.
I have been taking wellbutrin for 3 weeks now at
300mg. When I read the information leaflet that
came with the pills it mentioned almost all of the
side effects you mentioned. It has been my
experience that most side effects usually ease up
after a month to six weeks.
However I find the opposite reaction on the
wellbutrin. I find it calmed my hyperness and I am
finally able to concentrate when needed. I too am
dyslexic and find the wellbutrin helps with that also
although it has not provided much relief from the
depression.
I hope you feel better soon. Please ask your doctor
your questions. Maybe wellbutrin is not the drug for
you.
Feel better

Hey there,
Over the past 4 weeks my doctor has been slowly lowering my Paxil dose and introducing Wellbutrine. The whole purpose of this was to see if I could get my sex drive back. I was at 20mg of Paxil and now I'm at 10mg Paxil and 150mg of Wellbutrine daily. I'm a 34 male.
I'm not having a fun ride on this. I suffer from a combo of anxiety and depression disorders. Right now I'm feeling totally manic. I'm hyper and over reactive. When I was on Paxil alone it had a lovely sedative effect. Now i'm hyper-reactive to everything, feel jittery, i'm talking loader than usual, hungry all the time and my dyslexia is gone into overdrive (and it rarely surfaces anymore)
I've been seeing my doctor weekly so he can monitor me. This thursday i need to make a decision of what course i want to presue. My question to y'all is, has anyone else gone on this ride and what was it like?
Cheers,
-g
