Strattera and Wellbutrin Combo
I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about 11 months. I started at 150mg xl… felt ok helped a bit of the depression but not at all with focus or motivation. After 3 months at 150mg my PCP and I agreed to try 300mg xl… I didn’t notice much difference or improvement. Dr decided to add 18mg of Strattera and this changed my life. It’s been 5 months now on this combo and I feel amazing. So focused, so motivated, so upbeat… I just feel normal for the first time in my life. Absolutely zero side effects to my mood or daily life… But with each Dr or specialist visit for other health checkups we started noticing my diastolic Blood Pressure and BPM are pretty high… I thought maybe it was a one off at the first dr visit but now I’ve been monitoring it myself twice a day and it’s always pretty high… I don’t want to stop this combo but idk what to do to slow my heart rate and lower my diastolic BP… (systolic BP is fine 118-120avg)
I take both pills in the morning. Idk if I should take one in the AM and one in the PM… if I should lower from 300mg xl to 150mg xl Wellbutrin … if I should stagger Strattera one day and Wellbutrin the next…
Curious if anyone else has had this issue and if/how they solved it?
