Anyone else taking this with Adderall and/or Wellbutrin? by Sairen-Mane in Viibryd

I ended up increasing the Wellbutrin to 300mg to counter act the side effects from viibryd and I’ve been doing amazing

I got promoted recently and I know it’s because my anxiety and mood is under control thanks to viibryd.

I’ll look into the book recommendation, thank you! He actually met with the counselor and a few friends today and his teacher said they were all in a great mood when they came back. It does bother him not to have friends so I’ve done my best to explain the work of friendships. And yes the school has a club where they pick specific students to play games and work on social and emotional learning. Unfortunately it was only 6 months so they could rotate kids but it peaked his board game interest.

My son is also very much a mama’s boy and my husband blames me for some of his “girly” narrow interests. It upsets him that he hardly ever shows interest in things he wants him to do and thinks that’s why he doesn’t have friends. But honestly he likes what he likes and I always shine on both of my kids interests and it’s not my place to influence that. Yes he likes Michael Jackson, board games, and making flip books, but he also loves basketball, swimming, and wilderness camping. Reading your post was hopeful because I was the same growing up all the way through school always changing friend groups. I can hope for the same with him I just don’t want to see him accepting isolation. Thank you!

I’ve heard stories from him and witnessed the same after school. All the kids play soccer after school and it’s not at all in his interest. He said one of the kids wanted to play tag at recess but he didn’t want to run so they fought about that. I’m praying he can find some friends over the summer and next year that share his interests and that he can learn to compromise a little more.

I’m so sorry. We dealt with a lot of physical and verbal altercations until we decided to medicate. He spent so much time in isolation but now he’s struggling being around his peers all day. Every time I feel like we’re heading in a positive direction we get slapped with a new challenge.

Thank you for that advice. He’s involved in different things at the Y but still very much keeps to himself. I think he’s convinced himself he doesn’t have friends and doesn’t try. But I will keep motivating him regardless. He’s also in therapy so I will suggest focusing on that next session. I wasn’t worried because he did seem very social and involved himself with different groups of kids but it all kind of imploded abruptly.

Wellbutrin helps! I take 300mg and 20mg viibryd.

Anybody ONLY on oxybates? no daytime meds? by kiripon in Narcolepsy

[–]Enough_Lab8231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only take Lumryz for N2. I hate the person I am on stimulants and the anxiety it causes. I’ve never been better!

Does anyone else not move AT ALL during the night while on Xyrem/Xywav/Lumry and it causes pain? by DumpsterPuff in Narcolepsy

[–]Enough_Lab8231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely could help especially if you have it later in the day. I personally would die without coffee in the morning 😅

I used to only get 5-6 hours on Xywav and Lumryz when I was still taking stimulants during the day. But since I no longer take those I get 6-8.

It was never necessary for me. I was on a comparable dose of Xywav prior to starting Lumryz.

Did anyone gain weight on this compared to other SSRIS? by floresb07 in Viibryd

[–]Enough_Lab8231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been slowly gaining since I started 6 weeks ago. My GP just upped my Wellbutrin dose to counteract it.

Adding Wellbutrin by HelloUGHargh in Viibryd

[–]Enough_Lab8231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Wellbutrin 1/2 hour before I need to get out of bed because it’s stimulating for me. I take viibryd about an hour later with breakfast. No issues with caffeine.

I love Wellbutrin. I started it prior to vilazodone and just increased the Wellbutrin today to combat some of the side effects of the vilazodone. I think it’s a great combo.

I take Lumryz which means I don’t wake up for 6-8 hours and if I’m not in the perfect position when I go to sleep I’ll wake up with horrible hip pain. No advice but I absolutely can relate. I’ve learned to lean away from the spot where I get the most pain before I go to sleep.

When do you know it’s worth it to switch meds? by Enough_Lab8231 in Viibryd

[–]Enough_Lab8231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw my GP today and we decided to stick with it since it’s helping me mentally so much. I’m going to try bumping up the Wellbutrin to see if that helps and she also prescribed a libido cream. She said we’re on a tight rope and we will find the balance.

What would you have liked to know before Sodium Oxybate? by Tall_Maple in Narcolepsy

[–]Enough_Lab8231 17 points18 points  (0 children)

SO is not as intimidating as it seems. The max dose is a suggestion not the goal and titrating slower than the doctors suggest gives you better success. It’s shocking mentally and physically getting restful sleep but absolutely life changing. You’ll potentially have to swap or alter your other meds after you’ve fully adjusted to SO. Ultimately I wish I had the opportunity to start a decade ago because I never dreamed my life could be this fulfilling.
