Wellbutrin + adding Lexapro
Hey!
Quick overview- I have ADHD, OCD, PTSD, GAD & Depression. I started Wellbutrin ~3 months ago (150mg XL) for depression, and my dr is suggesting to add Lexapro for anxiety. I wanted to see if anyone has experienced Wellbutrin in the same way as me, and then added Lexapro and if it helped or not! Thank you!
Wellbutrin has helped me so so much in the depression realm since starting it, however I have had a couple issues heightened.
I have been EXTREMELY exhausted since being on it. I was always tired before starting it bc of other health problems, but welly b definitely makes me non stop pooped. I take it at night, fall asleep within minutes of trying (new to me lol), and can sleep for 12 hours but still wake up exhausted. I don’t feel *as* depressed, but I still lack motivation to do anything with is a lil depressing lol
I’ve always had anxiety, but it is THROUGH THE ROOF now. I’m not sure if it’s making my ptsd worse, but a lot of my death anxiety has skyrocketed. I’m definitely more anxious in general, but some things are especially ramped up.
All of that to ask-
-Did you start on Wellbutrin?
-Did you experience any of these symptoms?
-Did adding Lexapro help?
-Any weird side effects from Lexapro?
-Also anybody LESS tired after starting Lexapro?
Thank you so much for anyone’s time. I am extremely anxious about medications. It took a lot for me to even try Wellbutrin, so the thought of adding something else is also freaking me out but I’m willing to try anything atp 🫶
