Has anyone taken Wellbutrin with Lexapro?

Question

I am currently on Lexapro. It works great, but I cant handle the side effects. I am gaining weight like crazy. It has caused me to have a craving for alcohol! I also have no motivation to do anything and my s*x drive is pretty much gone!

I have heard that some people take Wellbutrin with the lexapro to offset the effects. Does anyone have experience with this?? Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I took Lexapro, then stopped it completely and started on Wellbutrin. I dont know how they would work together, but I wanted off Lexapro completely, I hated it.  

Answer 2

I take only take Lexapro and experience similar side-effects.  Lexapro + Wellbutrin is a common combo.  I'm including a link where you can read about other peoples experiences.
