> I have to make a decision within the next week over choosing one of these two medications. I apologise for covering old ground but descriptions of experiences in people who've taken BOTH would be helpful. I am med sensitive and found bupropion very anxiety provoking. Specifically i'm looking for any measurable changes people had on perceived quality of life, appetite, friendliness, energy, sleep, libido, emotional sensitivity and any others worth mentioning. Thanks!
If you've found Wellbutrin anxiety provoking you're likely to find Effexor fiery. But then they both work so differently -- Effexor doesn't focus so much on dopamine. Cymbalta is much more subtle. For some its the opposite, not in my book. Some people do find Cymbalta sleepy, and thus would find Effexor energizing. If your chemistry is anything like mine, you'll sure have a fun sex life with Wellbutrin, other than having it burn your head on fire (almost literally, like eczema).I don't thing either have a significant effect on libido, but that's just my story.
