> Simus ...sorry to bother you again all part of my med phobia worrying..and questions please bare with me...
No problem at all. Hope I can help.
> You are doing good on the Wellburtrin?
I am doing well. Compared to where I want to be, maybe only 90%. But so, so, so much better than the Lexapro days.
> how long has it been?
I started around January/February of this year.
> and was your problem anxiety/depression my emphasis is on the anxiety..
Depression since around 8 years old, anxiety to the point of panic attacks around 12 years.
> I forget everything on the lex...
I did too.
> and my periods before during and after were horrible...
Lex really messed up my hormones. I had regular periods my whole life up until Lex. But I am still waiting for that to normalize.
> how long have you been on the wellbutrin and how soon did you come off the lex after starting the wellbutrin...
I stopped 30mg Lex and started 150mg Wellbutrin on the same day.
> I was going to try to totally ween off the lex before starting but listening to you I think you have some good points...If I'm able to take 2 meds at the same time wahhh...
If you can do ANYTHING to avoid SSRI withdrawal symptoms, do it.
> did you take the xanax at the same time you were having the agitation from the wellbutrin..??
Yes, but I only take Xanax at bedtime to sleep at night. Switching really wasn't that bad of an experience. I have really been through it with the meds, and this wasn't nearly as bad as some of my experiences.
> ..sorry about all the questions but i know that you understand...Thanks this will be it..Your friend Heidi
No problem. I just want you to finally find something that makes you feel better. It hurts to see you suffering so much.
Your friend,
Simus
