> Thanks so much for relating your experiences. One other question: I tapered off of Prozac and then started WB. My prescription read, take 1 daily for 3 days, then 1 twice a day thereafter. From what I've read on here, this seems like it is kind of fast to get up to the full dose. Did anyone have any problems with starting WB like this? I am having a little dizziness and lightheadedness, but no too bad.
Just listen to your body. When I first started, I tried the SR at first. I tried to increase as was commonly suggested, but it was too fast for me. So I backed down for a week, and then tried increasing and that was better. I felt dizzy and lightheaded, too.
> Those of you who have also tried SSRIs, what did you notice were the biggest differences to you?
I felt too numb and emotionally flat.... like a blanket was thrown over the top of me. On wellbutrin, I feel helped but not smothered. I really felt unlike myself on SSRI's. I feel with wellbutrin that I am still very much myself, but I have just the right help I need to maintain equilibrium.
I also liked serzone a lot, like waterlily mentioned. In me it worked similarly to how the wellbutrin feels, but less activating. And it was great to take at night. Effexor made me bounce off the walls and never come down.
