I’m a 59-year-old male currently on 300 mg Wellbutrin / Bupropion XL and 0,5 mg Clonazepam taken twice daily in the morning and evening. My story started in 2005 when I was prescribed 10 mg Lexapro and BP meds (forgot which ones) for GAD. I was about two months from military retirement when I was unable to go to work or even get out of bed. The world was spinning, and my BP spiked to 200/150, and I ended up in the hospital. Dread had struck. Dr put me on 10 mg of Lexapro, finally ending up in November of last year on a 20 mg dose. I had finally had enough and decided to wean off of the Lexapro after 18 long years of feeling like a zombie. I was fine for a few months after the withdrawals had finally subsided. Then, hell started breaking loose again, and I felt like it was 2005 all over again. My world started crashing down around me, and I definitely didn’t want to end up as I did back then. I visited my GP and told him I didn’t want to go back on an SSRI or an SNRI because I was tired of flatline emotions and zero sex drive. He put me on 150 mg of Wellbutrin, finally bumping it up to a therapeutic dose of 300 mg. Today is the sixth day of the 300s, and I’m starting to feel somewhat more normal. I can get up in the morning without debilitating anxiety and having to visit the toilet 3 or 4 times before 10 am. I have almost zero side effects from the meds, and aside from what I consider a bit more energy than I would like to have, everything is pretty good. I haven’t experienced any of the side effects of this medication. Every day seems to be getting better and better. I’ll update this once I’ve been on 300 mg a little longer; however, I have hope.
