> Bupropion is not approved for depression in the UK, your GP is unlikely to be aware that it's an antidepressant. The Wellbutrin brand is not available in the UK.PANTS!! I was getting rather hopeful that it would work for me. I'm just on cipramil and its quite good at controling aniexty and panic, although maybe not my depression, and it just gives me no drive/motivation/energy whatsoever.
I was hoping that because it worked on the dopamine/norad. neurotransmitters it would work for the no energy thing.
Do you know if I can combine reboxetine with cipramil? (thinking that reboxetine works on the norad. pathways) Or would it be better if I just switched to reboxetine (that is, if the doc will prescibe it - I tried before and he said it was too new! I'm going to a diff one now).
Its all pants. I'm so frustrated by it all at the moment.
I guess I should just see the GP and tell him all about it. They are so pants - I tried telling them that I was tired all the time, did they link it to the cipramil - no! They did a load of blood tests, all came back normal (how surprising), and now what.
Well, better had make that appointment!
Thanks for the info though. I suspected that wellbutrin wasn't avail in the uk, coz when I googled it with nhs on uk sites, nothing came up and anything that did, was related to zyban.
Any ideas on alternative meds? I would love to try the NARIs. And ritalin for that matter - I think I might be ADD, which would explain alot of things.
I'm begining to suspect that i'm gonna always be like this, and that I just won't ever be normal. It sucks. Why is life harder for us, when others can 'bounce back'. I just feel like its such a struggle to merely exist.
