Welloft - Wellbutrin and Zoloft (self.mentalhealth)

Hey Lemmy friends. I have been on 75mg of Zoloft (sertraline) for 2 years and I recently asked if something could be done about my lower libido. The doctor added Wellbutrin (bupropin). I started off with 100mg SR, and then my doctor switched me to 150mg XR. I have noticed a rise in anxiety over the past few weeks. He originally wanted me to reduce my sertraline (Zoloft) dose, but as my anxiety increased, I decided to go back to 75mg. (Dr. told me I should increase if I felt the need). It has been a little over 2 weeks and yesterday was the first day I felt my anxiety symptoms start to go back down.

I'm considering asking if I can increase my Zoloft (sertraline) dose to 100mg XR to see if that is the "magic" combination as I feel like the Zoloft could use a boost. (Have been thinking this for months now)

Anyway, I wanted to see if there are other Lemmy folks out there who take this combo and how things are going.

So I increased my dose of sertraline to 100mg and I can feel things starting to settle down a little. I'm going to see how this combo goes for a couple of months. I'll check in with you all later as I progress through my new and improved brain chemistry. Ha! Here's to improved mental health for all!
