In reply to Zoloft for Anxiety and Dysthymia - Side effect?, posted by displaced9 on September 17, 2011, at 9:01:17
Lower the Wellbutrin or lower the Zoloft back to 100 mg. You probably don't need that high a dose of both. The idea is to reach 70 to 80 percent improvement and do everything else on your own to get to 100 percent. We also need to accept that we will have some remaining issues with our thoughts and physiology. There is always going to be something wrong with always feeling almost no anxiety and depression on medication. It's simply not natural to feel this way. We need a certain degree of anxiety to keep us driven in certain ways. We need to be eating properly and exercising properly to make our minds and bodies feel better. We need to stay social and stay connected, feeling as much love for the world and others in our life as possible. Medication is NOT the cure guys.
So, I suspect you could reduce Wellbutrin 100 mg and go back down to 100 mg Zoloft, and do everything with your diet, exercise, and social life to get yourself to the place you and all of us want to be in.
New Chapter's Holy Basil, Lithium Orotate, and Magnesium Glycinate or Taurinate are other options to consider for anxiety and easing the mind.
