Hey, thanks for the responses. I'd like to take Wellbutrin b/c I heard it doesn't cause those notorious sexual s/e's but my doctor felt that anxiety is part of my depression and that Wellbutrin wouldn't help my anxiety. I am seeing her tomorrow
(BTW I am using my primary care physician for insurance purposes -- can't afford a psychiatrist or psychopharmacologist) and my therapist is not that pleased with this but I have a good relationship with my doctor. I trust her. But I wonder how well versed she is in some of the psych nuances? Do folks have strong feelings about psychiatrist/psychopharmacologist versus physician in the monitoring of psych meds???
And Donna Louise, I wanted to say I really resonated with your post because I am also a writer and a lot of my work (and creative process) is emotionally rooted. So I am a little nervous about this but I am going to wait and see. Maybe I can ask about adding Wellbutrin at some point! Thanks!
