In reply to Wellbutrin 300mg, lexapro 10mg+ and anxiety, posted by MedStudentSouth on July 27, 2004, at 21:02:01
Hi:
I have no experience as to 'Lexapro,' however I've been WB sr for the past three years or so. In my personal experience, WB sr is rather good for 'ADD' with a bit depressive property. Then, I totally understand your experience 'in hellish feelings' with WB sr 300 mg. Also, the 300 mg. WB sr is quite 'mass' dosage as seeing you sound like no past experience in AD and other psycho.-meds. Normally, WB sr prescribed after formal ADs, such as the one which you're on, due to 'weaker effectiveness' in dep.
In my guess, ... the reason why your pdoc. rxed WB sr in the first place is, as your quote, for 'ADD,' however it seems also he/she was precautious enough NOT to aggreviate your depression. Because, other stimulants, such as Ritalin, Addedal(sp?) and the like make the depression get worse, ... not always tho'.
In regard to 'GAD,' ... it is a part of 'depression,' however sometimes WB sr makes the thing/anxiety aggrevated, ... including me, due to some 'stimulant' effect.
I have NO good idea whether Celexa alleviate Anxiety-part of your depression, since I never use the Celexa. However if your anxiety getting worse due to the relationship or any other reasons, then you may need to ask your pdoc. for more appropriate AD or any other med. for 'Anxiety.'
