      I’ve taken Wellbutrin for years on highest dose will have to ask about extended release and I take the max Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia. I took clonopins for a while like 3 months and it messed with my head didn’t help with anxiety I take Xanax for that used to be 3 times a day but I got it down to as needed after doing meditation and crystal healing gonna try yoga next

      I take Citalipran and Wellbutrin extended release for mine and they work really well for me. Unfortunately we all have a slightly different body chemistry so it can be trial and error finding what works best.

      I currently take Wellbutrin extended release for my depression. That has been the best for me.

      I'm in Wellbutrin as well I find that it does help me with my depression. I also have bipolar I take vraylar and vybriid as well for that. I'm also on Klonopins 3 times a day for anxiety.

        @Peachez yes I am currently on Wellbutrin as well, but I don't feel a whole lot better yet. Also on klonopins 3 x a day. Maybe I haven't been taking long enough. Been on these medications for about a month. Hopefully I will feel better soon

          @Redd1966 usually they say 3 weeks is when you should start noticing a difference. I knew right away within a few days that Wellbutrin was working for me.

          @Redd1966 yes a month might be too soon to tell if it's working. Give it more time. And continue to talk to your Dr about your symptoms.

      I had to go through several meds to find the right combo for me. I'm on Wellbutrin and Cymbalta, and I also take Abilify for my Bipolar 2 diagnosis. They work perfectly for me. Sometimes it's a trial and error until you find the right combo.

        @Debb I take Wellbutrin and Cymbalta too. It took me 8 years to find the right combination for me!

        @Debb thank you. I'm on wellbutrin also. Maybe I should ask about Cymbalta or ambilify. I just feel so unmotivated
