Wellbutrin and Cipralex and side effects and still depressed oh my


Recommended Posts

I started taking Cipralex in October. I am very sensitive to medications. My psychiatrist started me on 10mg and I started having major panic attacks at least once a day. I had other side effects as well: sexual dysfunction, dry mouth, weird dreams. I cut myself back to 5mg and then quit it. He started me back up on 5mg and has been increasing the dose over the past 6 months or so to 20mg. I've been taking 20mg for about 8 weeks. I wanted to lie in the street and die. The depression was still really, really bad. The anxiety calmed down, though and I'm small talking to people when I normally wouldn't. I also care less about some stuff. My mild OCD is still OCDing. My teeth are clenched so bad my face hurts. The psychiatrist then prescribed 150mg of Wellbutrin to take with the Cipralex. The first two days were amazing. I didn't feel like laying in the street, I had manic-like energy, which I actually enjoyed. Day three and four and today, day five are back to feeling like a massive bag of dark, ugly depression. Will I ever not feel this way again?

Wellbutrin is very rough at first, and you can have some pretty nasty mood swings on it. And anxiety. After 4-6 weeks, it will calm down, and hopefully you will be feeling much better.
