I am glad to see that you will try again for a therapist. Remember that part of the process is getting trust with your therapist so take it slow in the beginning. He or she should work with you as you gain trust for talking. Personality is very important so find one who you feel comfortable with even if you have to try a few different therapists.

I don't believe that meds alone will help. If your primary doctor prescribed the wellbutrin but there was no therapy involved I believe that is only half of the equation. However it may take several tries to find a medicine that works well for you, which is why it is important to have a psychiatric doctor that you trust working with you as well. Everyone's body reacts differently to the meds so it really is trial and error to find what works and sometimes it takes a combination of drugs. The medicines also do not work quickly, it can take 3 to 6 weeks to build up in your bloodstream enough to take effect, so if you don't feel any relief in two weeks that doesn't mean it is not working. It is important to talk to your doctor about stopping medications as well. Stopping some too quickly can have adverse effects.

I know that money is an issue and I hate that that has such an important influence in our lives. i hope you can find some way to get the help that you need. and keep posting here because just sharing can be a big help.

good luck
