Has adding Wellbutrin to counteract side effects worked for you guys?

Tried Lexapro and it really helped with my anxiety, but I was having all the classic side effects-- weight gain, sexual disfunction, etc. I went off of it, but wondering if going back on and adding Wellbutrin would work? I've been hearing about that. Any experiences appreciated!

Just started today for insomnia/anxiety

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was prescribed this because I have trouble falling asleep due to anxiety. I have been nervous to start it because so many posts on here say it -causes- insomnia, so I'm worried it's the wrong move. Any thoughts welcome! Even if it's just telling me to stop taking it before I'm too far in lol.....

Got prescribed Pristiq for sleep/anxiety

I've had anxiety that makes it hard to fall asleep for two years now. Got prescribed Pristiq. I haven't started it yet because I'm worried since my only/main issue is insomnia, it might just make that worse from what I'm seeing on here? Any success stories?? Lmk!

Do you guys name drop in your LOCIs?

Like if you've spoken to an alum or current student and talk about it in the letter, do you specifically name them? I feel weird doing so it seems like it'd be a weird look, but the person in question actually said to do so because it makes it more credible? Thoughts?

E.g.: "When talking to a current 3L,John Smith...." vs. "When talking to a current 3L..."

I haven't slept more than a few hours/night in 2 years and it's simply agonizing. Look for sleep/anxiety practitioners who have been helpful for anyone on here pls I'm desperate.

It's been around 2 years and has absolutely ruined my life. I just cannot fall asleep. I don't feel like anxiety affects other parts of the my life like I'm social, happy, high-achieving, etc. But I literally just cannot sleep and it's making life excruciating. Any insight would be appreciated. I'd ideally like to avoid meds but I'll try anything atp I'm desperate.

Anyone had success, can you tell me the differences in your experience, etc? Went off lexapro bc of the weight gain and didn't feel like myself but anxiety preventing me from sleeping and contemplating trying Buspirone instead
