JooolzRooolz Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 So yesterday i visited my p-doc and he added Prozac to my cocktail. Is it weird that i'm going to be on Prozac AND wellbutrin? Does anyone know the resoning behind this? I totally spaced on asking yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit37 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm on celexa, wellbutrin and lamictal. Low doses of everything, but trying to kick the stubborn depression out without making me manic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resonance Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Not particularly weird. Mixing two SSRIs is unusual, but adding a Wellbutrin to an SSRI (or vice versa) is pretty common, since they act on different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweii Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Prozac acts on serotonin, Wellbutrin acts on norepinephrine and dopamine. So I guess the idea is to attack depression from many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon-A-TiK Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 i used to be on wellbutrin and paxil before we dropped the paxil. the prozac and wb work on different things in your brain, as others have said, so it isn't odd that your pdoc gave them both to you. it won't hurt you or anything. some people are on more than two, and some people are on more than one atypical antipsychotic at once too, which is less common but is done.

~nestling~ Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I was on efexor and remeron for several months a year ago. While coming off the efexor and settling in with the remeron. Is meant to boost the worst of the depression out... did help a bit... (apart from coming off the efexor, but that's another story...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
