I do find that learning your 'warning signs' helps. It doesn't make stop it, but for me identifying early when things are slipping means that I can generally avoid getting to the point where I completely stop functioning. Exercise and healthy diet definitely help as well. Whether you start the Welbutrin is up to you but I would say it's worth a go. I actually find medication incredibly helpful.

Yea, I've tried meds in the past and they seem to work for awhile and then just stop working for me and then it's increases or adding other meds etc.. It was exhausting last time I went the med route so I just gave up. I did feel pretty good on Celexa but then it stopped working after about 1 year and I was maxed on my dose and then they added welbutrin and that did nothing.. I'll try the exercise and diet and go from there.. It is nice to see it coming though so maybe I can prevent from going too low.. We will see :-)
