> Hey Simus..how are you doing??>.thanks for the encouragement and the dr did suggest that and you know me with the med phobia but that is certainly an option I'm taking the weekend to make my decisions and then I'll be off to begin this new journey...You are on Wellbutrin also?? arent you..because your experience with Lex wasnt good??..thank you for you help take care of yourself..Your friend Mystic
Hi Mystic,
I'm doing well. Thanks for always caring.
Actually, my doctor had me stop Lex (at 30mg) the same day as I started Wellbutrin (150mg). It was survivable. I felt great during the first day - just a little antsy, but I also felt great all night long (insomnia). The sleep deprivation started to get to me after a couple of days, but that subsided soon. But I think a little overlap of the two drugs would have taken the edge off adjusting to the Wellbutrin.
My Lexapro experience is very similar to yours, but maybe even a little worse.
Let us know what you are going to do and how you are feeling.
Simus

Yes, I am in the same place. I promise, this is the year of reckoning...I am going to form a plan of action if things don't work out this year. The new principal is really cool, but there is one bad thing already...
183 students enrolled for 6 teachers..30+kids per class..ALREADY. several kids wont come or enroll until after the tenth day down here for some reason. Also, 60 of those kids have IEPs.

> Simus ...sorry to bother you again all part of my med phobia worrying..and questions please bare with me...
No problem at all. Hope I can help.
> You are doing good on the Wellburtrin?
I am doing well. Compared to where I want to be, maybe only 90%. But so, so, so much better than the Lexapro days.
> how long has it been?
I started around January/February of this year.
> and was your problem anxiety/depression my emphasis is on the anxiety..
Depression since around 8 years old, anxiety to the point of panic attacks around 12 years.
> I forget everything on the lex...
I did too.
> and my periods before during and after were horrible...
Lex really messed up my hormones. I had regular periods my whole life up until Lex. But I am still waiting for that to normalize.
> how long have you been on the wellbutrin and how soon did you come off the lex after starting the wellbutrin...
I stopped 30mg Lex and started 150mg Wellbutrin on the same day.
> I was going to try to totally ween off the lex before starting but listening to you I think you have some good points...If I'm able to take 2 meds at the same time wahhh...
If you can do ANYTHING to avoid SSRI withdrawal symptoms, do it.
> did you take the xanax at the same time you were having the agitation from the wellbutrin..??
Yes, but I only take Xanax at bedtime to sleep at night. Switching really wasn't that bad of an experience. I have really been through it with the meds, and this wasn't nearly as bad as some of my experiences.
> ..sorry about all the questions but i know that you understand...Thanks this will be it..Your friend Heidi
No problem. I just want you to finally find something that makes you feel better. It hurts to see you suffering so much.
Your friend,
Simus

Hi Lexy,
You will be fine for 3 weeks. It is nothing compared to what you have already gone through, right? I have been very busy with classes and the kids being home for the summer. We also have company this week so that is hectic. I am doing very well with my 20mgs of lex and keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else. I have been eating alot this week cause of the guests and going out to eat alot. I am feeling like a cow! After they leave it's back to Atkins! How goes weight watchers? Talk to you soon, Mrs. C

Trucker,
God Bless you honey. I cannot imagine all the emotions you must be going though right now. Sadness, Anger, Revenge and even pity. You are such a sweet woman and I hope so much that the Lord blesses you. I am praying for you and wish you comfort and peace.
Love,
Lexy

Wow, sorry Trucker. That really sucks having to see someone pregnant and not take care of themselves. Especially when you have lost a baby of your own. I hope that you don't blame yourself for what happened to your baby. Sometimes we just can't control what happens to us. I have lost two babies myself but they were very early in my pregnancy, it still hurts though. I tried to do everything right and still couldn't get past the first trimester. Thank God I already have 2 healthy girls. Sorry for your pain, I am thinking of you. Mrs. C

Ali,
I am so glad to hear you are doing well. The bad days do seem more tolerable when there are some good days mixed in there too. I hope you have more good days and less bad with every passing month.
God bless,
Simus

Hey Lexy and the rest of the crew,
Sorry I have been away so long...I went on a vacation and have been running crazy ever since.
My computer at home has been acting strange and I have been on vacation from work the last 3 weeks so I have not been at that computer either, which is where I do most of my writing to you guys.So Lexy you moved? where and how far from where you were. How are you feeling?
I am feeling pretty good other than the forgetfulness which is driving me crazy. I feel like a crazy person. Does anyone know if it ever goes away?Well love to all the yo-yo's and I hope to hear from you all soon. I hope everyone is feeling good and enjoying the summer.

Hey Girl!
How are you? I am doing well. I actually just moved about 5 miles from my house. However, my parents are now moved to Las Vegas and I am here in Mississippi. Its home and I know lots of people so that is cool. The boyfriend comes back in T minus 3 weeks so I am super happy about that. Its been so long since I have gotten to see him!!!
How was vacation? It is always nice to get away even if away is your own back yard.
About the memory lapse. Mine went away but it took like 3 months. However, I think LynneDa and Mystic were still having problems and are now moving over to Wellbutrin. You may want to talk to them more about it!!! Good luck, glad your back we missed you!
Lexy
