I have been going through a bit of medication hell these past months which in addition to other stuff has made it seem stupid to get out of bed (though when forced to, I am generally glad I did, so I know that I do still have to ability to smile)
My doc (who I am about done with...good guy, but seems that we are not getting anywhere with the talk part of the therapy), put me on wellbutrin and keppra about 10 days ago.
I know we have to give these drugs their 6 week trials, but I don't have much faith in wellb for myself, based on previous experience with it. So I am considering an maoi, I guess, because it seems as if a lot of ppl here are having good experiences with them, so I figure, to hell with the "clean" drugs, I will try the dirty ones ha ha...
Has anyone else run the gamut from ssris to effexor and rememron and wellbutrin and found the older generation drugs to be a good move? Do you think I should give it the old 6 week try with the welb and the keppra?
Finally, what is the weight deal with maois? Are the tricyclics the ones that pack on the pounds? I'm not complaining of a minor weight problem here, so this has become a seriuos consideration.Thanks for sharing experiences.....
