> Hi, Shyla. I'm on both Effexor XR and Wellbutrin XL, so we're medicinally matched! I take both in the morning (150mg effexor and 300mg wellbutrin), every day. The WB helps to keep me going during the day and helped to wake up my body below my waist!! It actually makes it more difficult to get to sleep but all the side effects - of which I seem to go through most of them - have just about disappeared now.
Thanks for your input Partly. How long did it take before you notice the side effects abating? This lack of sleep thing is driving me crazy! Do I understand you that the Wellbutrin keeps you awake? I'm not taking the slow release. I was told it lasts about 4 hours in your system. It was prescribed purely to offset the sexual side effects. But I do notice that I'm kind of dopey during the day. My doc did offer the slow release. Do you think that might be better?
