idea I posted a few days ago about taking Cymbalta, I quit taking it too many side effects, I am back on Bupropion generic for Wellbutrin. It has way less side effects for me I take 100mg SR, it gives me the energy I need to get up and do the things I need to do. I have not called my M.D. yet to tell him I went back to it, but I will today or tomorrow, he may suggest another anti-depressant, or just bump up my dose of Wellbutrin. For those of you taking Cymbalta and it works for you way to go!! As for me cant take something that makes me spaced out.

Good luck to all :)

How long were you on the cymbalta and how long have you stopped taking it? It can have bad withdrawal symptoms, so if you have them dont think itis the wellbutrin. I hope that the wellbutrin continues to work for you. I took effexor for many years and it worked good. a long with abilify. Now I take pristiq and abilify. They work good together. I took wellbutrin for awhile and liked it. I just couldbnt tolerate a high dose. And I needed the higher dose for my depression. But I liked the energy it gave me and I could think real sharp.

Best wishesHugs, Karen

HI I could only take the Cymbalta for 4 days, I was just way too tired to do anything, woke up with bad headaches. I suffer from Migraines so I am on medication for that also, I do not need to wake up with a headache, some of them lasted all day. My doctor mentioned putting me on Abilify maybe that is what he will do when I call there today?? How does the abilify work for you Karen? any bad side effects? I do not care if he keeps me on the wellbutrin and has to bump my dose up as we go, but I know I tolerate it well, I have to be able to drive etc.

Thanks, Angel

Ability (Abilify) (my kindle won't let my use the word I want) works well for me and I haven't had any side effects. I have been taking it for few years now. It is expensive though. I have insurance so that helps. But at on time my co-pay was 40 dollars. There are other one though thAt are good.

I hope you do good on th Wellington. I liked the energy that it gave me and I lost weight.

Keep posting and let us know how it is going.

Hugs Karen
