Two months ago I tapered off 20 mg of lexapro because I felt it wasn't working. just a week ago I was hospitalized. I was told that sometimes higher doses of lexapro are helpful during a particularly low depressive phases. they added wellbutrin and extra .5 mg klonopin
The doctor has me on 8am 1mg guanfacine 20mg lexapro 100mg wellbutrin SR 0.5mg klonopin 12pm 1 mg guanfacine 5 mg dexedrine 4pm 0.5 mg klonopin 9pm 1 mg guanfacine 20 mg ambien this is the best drug combination I have had. this is after 10 plus years of difficulty with med management. feel way better today and it's only been about a week. still symptoms, but overall very good recovery so far. |

I liked Wellbutrin. It had a calming effect on me.

why did you stop taking it? I stopped wellbutrin twice before, but it was because my anxiety wasn't under control.
as an aside. i don't really see a need for the 5mg dexedrine at noon anymore. wellbutrin is actually helping and it is calming isn't it. just a bit on anxiety as well. |

I was never actually prescribed it. It was given to me by a friend who knew I was depressed
. I took it for about a week and thought I was "all better". This was years before my diagnosis and breakdown. __________________ I'm bipolar 1, agoraphobic, ocd, and gad. Fairly happy go lucky. Prozac 20mg Geodon 80mg Saphris 10mg Lamictal 150mg All I can offer is my heartfelt honesty |
