Good day this is my visit to this site I have been using Wellbutrin 150 mg for about a year about 4 months ago I found it not to be working. So the doctor put me up to 300mg. This seemed to do the trick I felt great. The last 4-6 wks things have changed I started getting annoyed with little things that would never bother me and being snappy with my husband which I never have been before. Last week at work I had a very stressful day can home feeling very tired and have fallen into a major depressive state. This has been a week now. So I went to the doctor today filled out his paper questions and it reveals that I am in a very depressed state so he gives me 10mg Paxil to add with my existing 300 Mg wellbrutin. I am not sure what snapped and landed me in the state
Has anyone tried these two pills together if so how did it work ? I am very concerned about the listed side affects
Of weight gain and sexual side affects

These side effects are unique to each of us. If I had a side effect off of the Paxil, it doesn't mean you will. So the only way to know is to try it. I think that the Wellbutrin will stop any weight gain. I think... So you should be good there. Though I gained weight on abilify when I started taking it. But it wasn't a lot and feeling better made all the difference in the world.

I hope that this works for you. It is all trial and error. If it doesn't talk to your doc about a mood stabilizer. I added it to Effexor years ago and it helped a lot. I take the mood stabilizer and pristiq now.

I hope that you find what works for you. It can take time so be patient. In the meantime work on some coping skills and mindfulness. They really help a lot.

Welcome to the depression forum.

Have a good rest of the day.

Hugs, Karen...

Depression can be very scary. But know it will be better. It just takes time. Do you have any self help books on depression? They come in handy. Try to take things one day at a time. Since you are taking some time off of work, try to do something nice for yourself. Something simple. Pamper yourself during this time.

Hang in there, it will get better.

Hugs, Karen...
