I take Effexor XR 225mg daily and Wellbutrin 150mg twice daily and they have worked wonders. I started the Wellbutrin, initially, to help me quit smoking. Not only did it help, but also counteracted the sexual side effects of the Effexor, which were never all that bad to begin with. I think everyone needs to realize that different anti-depressants work differently for every individual. Some of these postings would scare many people from taking ANY antidepressants and that is a very, very dangerous thing.

I was taking 225mg of Effexor for over a year with increased sweating being the worst side effect. When my doctor and I felt like I needed a boost, I went to 300mg of Effexor, however that made the sweating out of control.

We decided to add Wellbutrin at 150mg and reduce Effexor back to 225mg. I have been on this combination for just over a week and I don't feel any better and the sweating is still out of control.

Has anyone had any sweating issues from using both of these drugs? If so, how do you resolve this problem?
