Hi

Its good to hear that things are getting better for you! I think that

depression and sleep deprivation can both exacerbate whatever is going

on with us medically, so I'm not surprised to hear that some of your

symptoms are lifting along with your depression.

Thanks Helen!

Let me ask you something else if you know anything about it. I'm on Effexor

(75mg) twice a day and today I got another script for Wellbutrin 300 mg once a

day. I used to take Wellbutrin about 4 years ago and it worked well for me but

I thought I had been taking it too long and started to get immune to it, but is

it a good idea to take 2 antidepressants at the same time?

Effexor seems to work alright, but the Wellbutrin was better. And is it alright

to just stop one and start on the other. I will ask my doctor, but I haven't

been able to get in touch with either one today. If you know anything about

this thank you.

Thanks Jackie!

Let me ask you something. I am on Effexor and went to pick a refill up today

and she also gave me Wellbutrin which I had taken years ago. Is it alright to

take both? Of course I'm going to ask her. I told her I did like Wellbutrin

and don't know if she's just switching me.

Thanks,

Thank you for taking the time out to listen to me. It's greatly appreciated

more than you can imagine. Have a wonderful night.
