Its funny how people react so differently to meds. Lexapro made me a zombie and Prozac felt like it energized me. The addition of Wellbutrin seems to have given me the boost I needed to get out of that deep dark hole of depression.
I know about not being able to afford meds too. I have that problem a lot even WITH insurance. About a month and a half ago I started taking Strattera for ADD. When I first started it, it made me nauseous all day long for several days. I toughed it out and the nausea eventually went away after a week or two. Then last week I ran out and couldn't afford it yet. So finally today I got it refilled and tonight I took the first one after not taking them for a week. So now I'm waiting to find out if I'm going to go through the whole nausea thing again! What fun!
Anyway, I hope it helps to know you're not alone in all this. I mean the whole thing not just the nausea stuff. (I'm not saying, "Yea! Group nausea!") So hang in there. And I'll hold your hair if you hold mine!

P.S. It usually takes awhile for people to get my sense of humor.
