> Pete, that's nice to hear that has worked for you-haven't seen one of your posts in awhile. Just a quick question or two-what doses of WB/Rebox are you on and what does REBT stand for and could you summarize what it is? Thanks in advance!
Ritch, sorry for the delay in replying and yes, it's been a while since I PB'd :0]
To answer your questions I'm on 8mg rebox and 300mg wellbutrin daily. They both gave me serious side-effects when I started them (rebox made me obsess suicidally for 2 weeks solid and zyban made everything look super-bright so I had to wear shades 24/7 ! :0] ) but now it's just the usual gastrointestinal probs.
REBT stands for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. Don't be put off by the somewhat flowery name of this therapy, it really is very practical, down-to-earth, logical and powerful. As I say, I liked CBT but it just didn't get to grips with my problems. REBT really gets to the root of things and uses logic to convince you to change your thinking. I cannot recommend it highly enough. For a good introduction go for any Windy Dryden book by Sheldon Press e.g. How to Accept Yourself, Overcoming Anger, Overcoming Anxiety.
Ritch, (&anyone else) if you have any more REBT questions please don't hesistate to ask. I endeavour to refrain from excessively singing its praises as I may come across like some kind of fanatic and put people off!
Cheers & all the best,
pete.
