Wellbutrin

[Guest guest]

Saw my doctor today and discussed a request my family had made. They felt I

needed something to " level " me out, as my moods seemed to swing up and down

quickly and not very nice about it either! I never felt that I fit the criteria

for depression as I laugh, have friends, travel, etc. But I do notice that I

get upset too, too easily and cry too, too easily. This has greatly upset my

husband and daughters.

Anyhow, has anyone on this list been prescribed Wellbutrin and how did it work

for them? My doctor almost did not let me finish my description of my problems,

she was so used to hearing it. She said that PA sufferers have our brain

chemistry altered from the constant pain, lack of good rest, etc. The symptoms I

described were very common for PA sufferer's, and she felt that Wellbutrin

would greatly help me. Wellbutrin evidently helps with the fatigue as well as

the constant craving for carbs you get with the Enbrel.

I feel confident this is a good choice, but would still appreciate any feedback

from anyone on this list who has taken Wellbutrin.

I also just read on the last mailing list, someone wrote in about being

depressed. I hope they are reading this message and will seek help from their

doctors. Thanks. in Poulsbo, WA.
