OK, who wants to play detective? Which med ...

Posted by Racer on February 16, 2005, at 16:34:09

I'm taking the following meds:

Cymbalta, 60 mgs
Wellbutrin XL, 150 mgs
Provigil, 100 mgs

I'm currently experiencing the following adverse effects:

Trouble finding words
Weight gain
Akathesia (not as bad as on Lamictal/Zoloft, but bad enough)
Worsening depression (damn)
Memory troubles (mild to moderate)
Mild to moderate insomnia

It's all pretty much just irritating, but it's also feeding into my psychological difficulties right now -- like feeling as though there's no point in trying to find a med that will help without turning on me, that Dr CattleProd will give up on me because I'm difficult, etc.

The worst problems, really are the word finding and the restless legs (they hurt until I start fidgeting, then they feel OK again as long as they're moving), and I really do not want that to be the Wellbutrin or Provigil, but assume they're probably the suspects.

So, would anyone like to hazard a guess as to which med or meds might be causing which problem?

Thanks!
