Question:
What other med. does any of you take with wellbutrin for OCD?

After surgery my doc took me off paxil and put me on wellbutirn but I am back to worrying about everything to the point of no sleep and sometimes I just wish my mind would shut up. I think I may need to take something else. Is there anyone out there with the same problem. The wellbutrin is working well on my depression.    — Oldsoul (posted on July 21, 2003)

Try Celexa. I was diagnosed with OCD some years back and have been on it ever since. I swear by it. Thanks, Melony Halliburton Lap RNY 04-29-03

Why did they take you off it if it was working? I've been on Paxil for years and it helps my depression and OCD tremendously. I initially was on Prozac and that did really well too, but I had to be on a really high dose. After my son was born it just didn't seem to work anymore. It seems like Wellbutrin must not work on the OCD and you definitely should get something done about it.

Hi there! I have worked in the mental health field for 9 years and know that Prozac is a big one for OCD. It also helps with depression as well. Ask a psychiatist or a psychologist instead of a PCP. Though they mean well, it is not their specialty. Good Luck!
