new meds

So I saw my doctor today. Told her about the headaches and stuff i was having which she thinks could be the anxiety. I also told her I was feeling some sexual side effects from cipralex. She gave me the choice of either trying an upped dosage of cipralex to see if that would help with the anxiety since the one I was on isn't working. or to go with something else due to the sexual side effects. I chose to try something else due to the fact that the cipralex wasn't really working all that well. Not sure if I made the right choice or not but well try it. She prescribed me with wellbrutin xl 150. Pharmacy gave me generic brand i think (mylan-bupropion xl 150) She told me to continue taking the cipralex for a month and take the wellbrutin as well and then at the end of the month i go back to see her and we are going to stop the cipralex.

K.,

Sounds like a good plan, and I am glad that you are able to work slowly on this with your doctor, to avoid any harsh transitions...and to get the results that you want and need.:)

I too hope that this new Rx works for you!

Keep us posted.
