Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ,I´m back on the whole Welbutrin for about 8 days now and I´m feeling fine. I just have some tremors in my hands sometimes, and not everyday. I want to say that I also exchanged Prozac for Fluoxetine (diferente labs) about a month ago (money issues).Can I ask the doc for regular Welbutrin, or should I dicrease fluoxetine or lithium first?(I´m taking natrum carbonicum too)TksGiovanna Hy, My name is Giovanna and I´m from Brazil.I have been treated for psi problems for the last 10 years.I had 3 suicide attempts and one hospitalization in 2001 that lasted for 2 months. A friend took me out of that horrible place. I took about almost everything.. ..lots of different meds...Nowadays I take 300 mg Lithium, 150 Wellbutrin SR, 20 mg Fluoxetin, 30mg Lanzoprazol (for my stomach).I went do a homeophat psi doc to start withdrwaing. ... he already gave me a homeophatic med (natrum carbonicum). I cutted mu Wellbutrin in half 22 days ago and I´m experiencing bad symptoms.I feel fatigue all the time, have insomnia, vivid dreams, I see things passing by me there aren´t there, I´m more angry, more impatient, I have tremmors, vertigo, can´t concentrate, can´t focus for to long..... I only cut the pill of wellbutrin in half.I work at IBM here in Brazil and working is getting more dificult everyday.My husband doens´t understand a lot about this stuff, can´t support me on that, bu he says he is with me... even though he is scared. Last friday I didn´t made to work, too tired.My family doen´t know about my withdraw wishies ´case they don´t believe in it.They love meds. So, no support there.I´m pretty much on my own here....I guess that´s it. Giovanna ** Giovanna, you can't reduce a drug dosage by that much. Go back to your regular dose until you feel okay again. Also, you can't cut an SR formulation in half. You have to get regular Wellbutrin for this. Why are you choosing to stop the Wellbutrin first? We will help you do a 5 or 10% decrease once you are feeling normal again . What you did will keep you sick for years if you just keep going that way. Are you planning on stopping all the drugs? If so, we should talk more about which one to stop first. I'll need to know much more about your history. What's your diet like now? Please post a 4 day food and drink diary when you are feeling better. Thanks. When you write, please post it to the list, not to me privately.
