Welcome to Babble! I'm on Effexor XR (150mg) and Wellbutrin XL(300mg). We added the wellbutrin to boost the AD effects; I can't take more effexor without my blood pressure climbing too high, and I was still crying every day. Wellbutrin took care of that problem, and I do have more energy. The side effects I experienced at first were nausea, trembling, agitation, constipation, and insomnia. (You read all that and you wonder why I take the stuff...)
My dx is bipolar II, generalized anxiety and panic attacks. I'm also on Ambien as a sleep aid and Xanax for the panic.
You'll find lots of support here. Just read the posts on the boards you're interested in, and jump in whenever you like. There are no private conversations here!
good luck
