Bad day, one step forward two steps back

[Coralrose5]

I couldn’t sleep last night, finally drifted off briefly for 3-4 hours. Decided that it was the increased dose of Wellbutrin and then decided I would start Lexapro today. Omg I feel like crap. I feel like I can’t be in my own skin right now if that makes sense ... not sure if that’s irritability or what. What do I do?

I would talk to your doctor about the meds as soon as possible.

I will, however I’m following the advice I got a few days ago of not taking Wellbutrin and taking Lexapro now.

Lexapro was terrible for me. A lot of drugs just aren't worth the side effects for me.

Call your doctor. Welbutrin withdrawal could be the issue. I don't know if Lexapro needs to taper up after tapering off Welbutrin.

Let your doctor know how the change is going. He/she may be able to prescribe something to ease the transition. You can always ask for a mild sedative to help you sleep as you switch from one to another. Remember, we are not doctors, so advice given here s just our own personal experiences. Meds affect individuals differently. Talk with your doc asap.

I left a message for the clinic to call me back.
