Wellbutrin and Lexapro?

Post by MarkS »

Hi all. Is anyone taking both Wellbutrin and Lexapro together? I've been on 300mg of Wellbutrin for a long time now, but my therapist feels I'm at a point where I need something additional. So, my doc has prescribed Lexapro (I don't know the dosage yet. I pick it up tomorrow) Has anyone taken this combo? If so, what was your experience?

Thanks.

I took these two a couple of years ago. My family dr started me on lexapro and it helped for my anxiety but not really the depression. She added wellbutrin and it didn't do anything for me. I had no bad effects from this combo, I just don't respond to most antidepressants. Sorry I don't have any more info for you.

I have taken Buproprion for several years. Depression still seeped through every now and then. My doc added viibryd and that has been effective for me.
