Does a celexa and wellbutrin sr combo work well?

Question

i have bad anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). i've tried luvox, lexapro, prozac, and remeron and have yet to find a medicine that will work for me

i'm mainly looking for relief from my horrible anxiety.

i'm really sensitive to side effects. my stomach hurts, i get bad nausea, i get tired, i get dizzy. i've heard people rave about celexa and wellbutrin combo. they call it "celwell" and say it works wonders because it treats so many things all at once.

is anyone on this combination?? does it work well? can i expect any bad side effects??

Answer 1

I have the same exact problem except when my anxiety starts up, I usually end up in the hospital. If you get a good reliable answer, could you please tell me?

Answer 2

I have severe depression and am on welbutrin SR and paxil. I am on the high dosages one can go. I have no major side effects, and they both help me together. If you are having bad side effects, be sure to tell your doctor, sometimes one med will do it, sometimes a combo, but there are several different types of meds to try, so don't just give up if these meds as a combo don't seem to work for you or the side effects are bad. Keep working with your doctor, and eventually they will find something to help you, it's just that sometimes it can take awhile to find the right combinations, but don't give up. And don't quit your meds without the doctor's approval, and don't try to "self medicate". Good luck, something will help you feel better. Depending on what dosage you are on with the Welbutrin, this can cause panic attacks, so maybe you need to be taken off this med? Another side effect of welbutrin is nausea which you described. Sounds like you shouldn't be on welbutrin at all. Be sure to mention all your symptoms to your doctor.
