I've been on Lexapro 20 mg for about two years. Recently, it seemed to be working less and less. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin two days ago and I'm feeling weird - almost high/light-headed. Is that just because my body's not used to it yet and will eventually go away?
Also note that I am on the generic...several posts have mentioned that it's much less effective than the brand. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
Hi, there. I also take the generic and I've been on it so long, I can't really tell you if it's less effective or not, but I do know that when I've increased the dosage, I sometimes get like a "wired" effect. I'm pretty sure this will pass before too long. You're probably on a low dose right now, I would guess, since you're just starting it. It's been the only one that has worked for me to any degree, so I hope you have good luck with it, too. Enjoy the high!
