I have a doctor like that. He'll tell you one thing and then his brain will disconnect when he writes the prescription and it says something else entirely. Since this only happens when he writes prescriptions I've decided it doesn't matter so long as I watch what he writes carefully. He ends up crossing out a lot of prescriptions but I always do leave with the right one these days. Let's hear it for computerized prescribing!
I have a few more questions for you. How much bupropion are you taking and how often? And have you noticed any pattern in how you feel at different times during the day?
