My doctor just prescribed me Lexapro and Wellbutrin combination for social anxiety. I was curious to see if anyone else had taken this combination. Any advice would be appreciated.

As a panic disorder person, I can assure you that too much Wellbutrin may make you anxious/fearful-although I personally find 150 mg/daily helpful for keeping me a bit more stimulated. The Lexapro by itself may be very helpful-but then, the Wellbutrin may help if you have sexual side effects (I did) with Lexapro. Best of luck...

Both were too stimulating for me. Love Phillipa

I'm on 20mg. lexapro and 150mg wellbutrin twice a day.
However, taking two wellbutrins each day makes me irritable and totally worsens anxiety and phobias
So, I take no more than 150mg per day with the Lexapro. If I anticipate doing anything anxiety provoking, I just don't take the wellbutrin period.
