I've been taking 10mg propranalol BID for anxiety, which has worked a treat for me. The out of control anxiety some of you may remember is gone, and what's left has been very manageable. I'm also on Cymbalta, 60mgs.
So, last appointment, Dr CattleProd prescribed Wellbutrin to augment the Cymbalta. So far, so good, after seven days at 150mg of the Wellbutrin XL. Tomorrow I go up to 300mgs. Everything, as I said, has been fine so far -- EXCEPT that the effects of the propranalol seem to be gone. Now Dr CP did warn me that the Wellbutrin might block the propranalol, and said that if it did, I should just back off the propranalol. Seemed like it would be fine, since I was thinking I could start taking the propranalol PRN anyway.
Turns out, I was wrong about that! LoL! Does anyone know anything about this? Can you suggest anything helpful? Would separating the times that I take them help? Or is there a dose dependency that might affect it?
Thanks!
