Hi

Thanks a lot for your tips. As for what you've said, a combination of both could really work for me. However, I've been diagnosed as "moderately" depressed, and I have to confess that it was a little difficult for me to come to terms with the idea of taking ONE anti-depressant, let alone two! I'll sure give Wellbutrin some more time. My doctor has given me a two-month prescription, since I'll be out of the country for one month, so I guess that'll be enough time for me to actually see what it does for me. I do like the way it makes me feel. People say I seem to be more talkative than usual, and I do believe that's more like my true personality. Do you believe that may be related to bupropion? As for the availability of AD's here in Brazil, to my knowledge, only Lexapro isn't available yet. Officially, I mean, since there are independent importers who could bring it at a higher price, of course. All the others that are mentioned here are pretty much widely available from our drugstores. They require that the prescription is kept there, though. Is it a normal procedure in the US and Canada, too? Again, thanks!
