A member asked:
I had intolerable side effects on effexor (venlafaxine). now that i am taking a mood stabilizer, will i be able to tolerate wellbutrin?

Possibly: The two meds are different classes. Each person is different in how each med can affect. As long as your doctor has provided the prescription and you stay in contact/ open communication and feedback, it is worth a try. Good luck.

More than likely yes: Wellbutrin has a very different set of characteristics and side effects when compared to effexor (venlafaxine). However, my first question would have to be what mood stabilizer are you now taking?
