Afraid to try Wellbutrin

Posted by kerria on December 16, 2007, at 23:29:47

When i was a patient in a day program for a few days recently the psychiatrist there thought that i would do better if i took Wellbutrin and gave me a prescription for the lowest dose. i'm afraid to start it though because i'm afraid of things getting worse with me. Also i can't see that Dr again. If i like being on wellbutrin i'll have to make an appt with my dr to renew. He only gave me two weeks supply.
i wasn't able to stay a patient in that program because of insurance not being so good and feel so fragile now- and not doing well - i want to be so much better- get so much more done for the holidays- i feel so bad for my family that i can't manage to be more together. now i'm seeing a T once a week but not together enough to get the work done in therapy. i'm not taking any meds now to help- but am so so sensitive to side effects of meds.

some side effects i'm worried about are seizures, psychotic thinking/ losing control and shifting of parts - have DID and worried about switching causing problems. It's already so difficult- understatement.

In the past i haven't been able to take ADs except for Prozac for three months. Now i have to take oxycontin for severe pain (unsuccessful surgery this year)and levothyroxine. i have diazapam for emergencies. i wish there were a med that could help me be stable and productive. i'm always struggling with pain, physical and psych/ emotional pain..and confusing broken close relationships:(

Thank you for input, advice,
kerria
