I feel irritable since I changed my antidepressant?

Question

Hello, I changed my pristiq for wellbutrin due to the sexual problems it was causing me. Since the change, I feel very irritable compared to before. The changeover began on February 28. Pristiq was discontinued gradually and then completely along with the introduction of wellbutrin up to the 300mg dose

Dear Madam When was the change made? What dose of Wellbutrin are you taking now? If I understand correctly, the Pristiq has been stopped completely, is that correct? Thanks for the feedback! That's enough time to properly evaluate the effectiveness of Wellbutrin I would like to note that these medications are intended to better help you manage the symptoms of anxiety or depression. However, more difficult times are possible from one day to the next. As long as you are able to carry on with your activities on a sustained basis, the treatment can be said to help If, however, the irritability persists or is as frequent as before, I invite you to consult your doctor to evaluate the situation.
