can you help me? Wellbutrin XL

Posted by spriggy on August 15, 2006, at 0:34:32

I am going to talk with my dr. in the next week about getting on an antidepressent.

If you recall, I had a horrible experience with Lexapro about 2 years ago.

I tried Wellbutrin once but I quit out of fear of the side effects ( I have finally quit reading the side effects profile and giving myself all the symptoms, ROFL)..

Here is my questions:

1) I took Wellbutrin 2 years ago one time on a Wednesday morning- on that Friday night ( 2 days later) I had a horrific panic attack ( but a lot was going on in my life that was traumatic) and then spent 5 days not eating and hardly sleeping.

I always related this to the Wellbutrin but lately I've been wondering if it could even be possible to have a reaction over 2 days later or if it was simply the trauma at the time in my life and my physical illness instead???

AND, since I had such a bad time on SSRI's ( became suicidal) I am really concerned to go that route again.

I have read that Wellbutrin does help some people with low energy ( and I have fibromyalgia) and even some fibromayglia support forums say that Wellbutrin has helped with the pain associated w/fibro as well.

I have horrificly low energy right now, unmotivated and have been slipping the past few weeks into a depression.

I am crying several times a day, feel a lot of guilt and hopelessness, and am unmotivated.

These were my signs before when I fell into depression.

I'm also feeling very angry/resentful over stupid things' that I know are unreasonable.

I know that I need to do something and get some help before this gets worse.

I have two children, one is autistic, and my husband is a pastor. I can't afford to be this way with all that is on my plate.

So... Wellbutrin XL is my first prospect to speak with my dr about.

Any thoughts????
