Re: what is wrong with me-Sandy

[Guest guest]

I, too, was recently put on Wellbutrin. I had been on Zoloft 6 years

ago after my son was born. I believe the Zoloft " pooped out " because I

was unable to get a good night's sleep and felt down. I have been on

Wellbutrin now for about 3 weeks (1st week on 150 mg, 2nd and 3rd week

on 300mg). I have had about 5 good days in the last 3 weeks. The other

days I feel tired, light-headed, down, anxious, and just plain " out of

sorts " . I am now seeing my daughter's psychiatrist and she continues to

assure me that I need to give it time. I will be interested to see what

your doctor says. Let us know...

what is wrong with me

Thanks to all who responded. I was put on wellbutrin by my obgyn. I do

think I should see a p-doc and do a symptoms test. I felt inattentive

and distracted before the wellbutrin, but it does make me feel more

anxious and my heart beats funny sometimes. So the only way to figure

it out is go in! Never thought I would see a psychiatrist. lol. Thanks

again for your input.

I have been trying to find the right meds for my chronic depression,

(adult)ADD and anxiety for the past ten plus years. The best combo I have

had thus far is wellbutrin for the depression and zoloft for the anxiety

(taken simultaneously). I am now weaning off the wellbutrin and replacing

it with adderall for the ADD since I have re-entered school to pursue

teaching degree with a masters. I have not read all of the previous

messages, but I know how hard it is to live with dread and anxiety while

your mind is racing and having to wait so darn long for the meds to kick in

if they are in fact going to work. Hope that helps.

Jill, that is interesting that you are on wellbutrin for depression

and zoloft for anxiety. I thought zoloft was for depression too. I

am only taking 150 mg of well. and read earlier that 300 is the

dosage! I definately need to get my head figured out! Good luck on

getting your masters! That is awesome.
