Are Wellbutrin And Lexapro The Right Medication For Depression?

I am currently prescribed wellbutrin and lexapro. I have gained 40 lbs in one year and I am still deperssed to the point where I sleep all day after work and all night. Im off on weekends and I sleep the entire weekend away. Is there another combination of Depression meds you would recommend so as to avoid the Depression and constant fatigue?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
I Will suggest you to change from Lexapro to Effexor and see how it helps. Also discuss with your psychiatrist about trying Effexor with Mirtazapine well known as California Rocket Fuel if Effexor with Welbutrin doesn't help you. Mirtazapine with Effexor is very good with resistant symptoms of depression.
