Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an antidepressant. Some Docs mix and match different meds to try to get the desired effects. Buspar is another popular med to mix with SSRI's. If you have any questions at all on how to take your meds you should call your Dr. or pharmacist. Daria Lee <dariiaalee@...> wrote: My depression..

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Besides being an anti-depressant, Wellbutrin can be utilized as a smoking cessation pill.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I'm not a doc, but different SSRIs can be prescribed for different conditions based on the dosage.

I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, " Yes! " It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. by Oriah Mountain Dreamer copyright © 1999 by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------- * * * Bartz* Extremist, Anarchist, Evildoer, Texas Border Fence Cutter, Darfur Body Counter, Stage Manager: Bush/Blair " I'm with Stupid " Tour, Maureen Dowd's Unnecessary Man, Ski Addict, President: Rich Fan Club, Deputy to La Honda Sheriff Gonzo Strohm, Exegete, Eco-Nazi, Peacenik.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Yes, I have been on Wellbutrin XL 150mg and Lexapro 20mg for the last week. Since I started taking the Wellbutrin I feel less tired and can think more clearly, but even though I take the Wellbutrin early in the morning, I can't sleep. I am going on about four hours of sleep a night and I still feel wired. Even 30 mg of Restoril doesn't seem to help. I think I will ask the doctor for regular Wellbutrin, not the XL next time. I am a pharmacy technician, and I just got an email that the FDA has approved Lexapro to be made in generic. I don't know how long it will be until it comes out, but at least it's on the way. --------------------------------- Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Why does the doctor say it doesn't cause weight gain, he took me off Lyrica cause I gained that, so I lost it, now being on lexapro twelve days I seem to be getting filled up with puffiness and weigh more again. Anyone had Cymbalta, is it the same??? Re: Re: taking lex at night or day??
