Hi Artchick123, you are the best judge of your medication no longer working

as it use to. It is common for medications to lose their efficacy after being on

it long term. By all means, talk to your prescribing doctor and let them know.

Some times it just a matter of an increased dose or completely changing over

to a different med. Either way, get the relief you need by having this addressed :) xx

Hi. You should ask your Doctor about boosting your Wellbutrin with an SSRI.

Wellbutrin is Dopamine.

Your brain may need Serotonin too.

My SSRI was boosted with Wellbutrin.

Personally, I have never been able to find a med combo that prevents my depression entirely.

I had to increase mine after a while as well, then went back down again, ask your doc and your body will respond accordingly. A good Vitamin D works wonders as well!! :)
