Starflower:
The unknown can cause us plenty of fear. With a new doctor, a new medicine, and half a world from home, no wonder you're upset.
But try to stay calm, occupy your mind, and work off the stress as best you can. Some of the unpleasant symptoms (tension, constriction of throat, dizziness) you described in a previous post are much like anxiety and will only be exacerbated by undue fear.You've got a lot of things going for you, including a doctor who is making sound decisions and is responsive to you, access to the latest version of a safe, effective medication known for minimal side effects; your intelligence; and your ability to access information and support via computer .
By the way, Wellbutrin is not chemically akin to any other antidepressant. This may explain why you haven't yet felt the "leveling off" you've experienced with other ADs.
Hang in there.
