Does Anyone Take Wellbutrin Or Something Like It With Metformin To Help With Depression?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I suffer from huge ups and downs with depression and my mother wants me to take something for it and I used to take Wellbutrin but I felt it didn't work, i was hoping that maybe anyone might be taking something like it and wanted to know if it is helping you.

I take Fluoxetine (Prozac) and Metformin. I've been taking Fluoxetine for about 6 years now. It helps tremendously! I'm alot calmer and I don't get anxious as I used to.

I take Wellbutrin and Metformin...
I was taking Wellbutrin before TCC, and stopped when we conceived and didn't go back on even after a miscarriage.
Then after about a year without conceiving again and then learning I had PCOS, it triggered another depressive episode.
I went back on Wellbutrin about 6 months ago, and within 1 week of taking it again...it was literally like someone turned the lights back on the world for me. Things literally looked brighter, I plan to just stay on it until I'm pregnant.
It's been about 6 months on Metformin as well, and with a balanced diet and just a few walks a week; I've lost 19 lbs.
