What should I expect from taking .5 Xanax with Wellbutrin 150mg daily?

Question

I am depressed a lot and have anxiety problems. I will have emotional breakdows two or three times a week. Just started these meds today.

Answer 1

This is basically my medication regime only I am on 300mg Wellbutrin-SR.

Xanax will probably work immediately- it gives you a calming sensation, and it may make you groggy or tired. I would take this just as the doctor prescribed, it's very addictive.

Wellbutrin gives me energy and suppresses my appetite. You may even lose weight while taking it. Be sure to take it the same time every day and note that this drug can take weeks or months to begin working.

Answer 2

well you could be zoned out or you could be bouncing off the walls...it depends on how they effect you for me xanax makes me want to sleep and wellbutrin makes me sick  

Answer 3

you're suppose to take it once a day?  Is that what your dr. prescribed? xanax is very addictive. You can expect to feel out of it and then after a while of taking the pill every day, you may develop an intollerance to it.  I am assuming this is short term

Answer 4

i take the bupropion which is wellbutrin, just different name and i also take xanax.....and it works GREAT.  Try to stay at .5 mgs of xanax, cuz it is an addictive substance and i've actually went from .5 mgs three times a day (i started the xanax 2 years ago),  and now i am at 1 mgs three times a day.....It is very addicting.  So just be careful and STAY at .5  unless you ABSOLUTELY have to up your dose because of extremely high anxiety.   Good Luck 2 You!!
