YaY Something Happy

theres a big lack of positive topics on this board (lots of supportiveness tho) so i thought id throw one out. I'm doing so much better. I'm still on prozac 40mg, and we added Welbutrin starting at 100 and ramping to 300. The change was amazing and so fast. i felt it the first time i took it. i like this :)

I believe it is because SSRI's affect serotonin, and welbutrin affects the other two neurotransmitters (dopamine and the one i cant remember). often times when serotonin alone is medicated it can make the depression worse because it throws off the balance. atleast that was what my research found for me.
