Advised To Take Lexapro To Pristiq, On Welbutrin Also. Side Effects?
My doctor just switched me about 4 days ago from lexapro to pristiq but kept me on welbutrin, can these two medications be taken together? Are they used for the same thing? Mainly I deal with anxiety but the welbutrin helped boost my mood! I feel crappy today, what are the side effects of taking these two medications together? Thank you!

Hi
Thanks for your query
Both medicines pristiq and wellbutrin are antidepressants, and have almost same mechanism of action and are commonly associated with each other for treating depression. So these both can be taken together.
Side effects which you suffer from on prolonged use can be:
nausea, sweating, anxiety, agitation, dizziness, insomnia.
Regards
