Does anyone have experience with the combo? I am not sure how the wellbutrin will affect you along with the prozac, I started my wellbutrin,300mg/day about 8 months ago and just a few days ago added the prozac, 20mg. I can say this, I have had to add xanax to my medicine cocktail or i have very bad anxiety, i also use 10mg of ambien at night sometimes because the wellbutrin does cause me to have insomnia. How much wellbutrin are you taking? I have only been on the prozac for a few days, and at a lower dosage than you, but i have not noticed that the prozac helps with the things caused by the wellburin.....i have not had any increase in sex drive either, bummer.
