Tried talk therapy in 2007, which gave me tools to calm down, but never relieved my actual anxiety/depression/ptsd. I'm 23 years old, female, was hospitalized for depression/anxiety and attempts at suicide. I was put on Effexor XR 150mg/ day in February 2010. Wellbutrin was added six months later in August 2010. This helped a lot, I felt great for awhile. I began to develop vivid dreams and a lot of stomach aches and headaches, so I stopped the Effexor XR a month ago. The dosage for each when I stopped was 150mg/day Wellbutrin, and 75mg/day Effexor XR. I completely stopped and replaced with Escitalopram (20mg) at this point. The physical side effects from the Effexor XR went away quickly, and I was okay for a few weeks, but I'm getting crazier dreams and way more anxiety/depression now, seven weeks in. I would like to stay on the Wellbutrin, I respond well to it, I think. But I haven't had anxiety like this for years. I don't know if I should switch or lower the dosage?
