In reply to OK, who wants to play detective? Which med ..., posted by Racer on February 16, 2005, at 16:34:09
Weight gain and word find - Cymbalta
Insomnia - Provigil
Wellbutrin made my legs restless ... but then my Wellbutrin experience ended in a psychotic episode.Maxime
> I'm taking the following meds:

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

> 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.
