Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression While On Wellbutrin And Celexa
I have recently changed my depression medication from Celexa 20mg daily to wellbutrin 150mg twice daily to help me stop smoking ( I have taken this medication in the past with out side effects). Tapered off the Celexa week and half ago and started the wellbutrin last Wednesday. I have noted uncontrollable crying, paranoia and general anxiety. I am a 43 year old female so was wondering if I may possibly be starting menopause and what I can do to decrease the symptoms.

Well.WELLBUTRIN is not a great choice if you have the above mentioned symptoms since it act on a different clinical profile of depression. I would suggest you start escitalopram at a dose of around 10 mg,If smoking is a grave issue,you can maintain bupropion as an add on at a dose of around 150 mg or use some nicotine substitute therapy like gums or patches
